Default Anyone use the SVR Lightweight Battery??????

just wondering how it works compared to the stock delco battery. Says it weighs only 11 pounds.

Would this still work fine for a car with a semi upgraded stereo such as upgraded head unit and speakers (no sub or amp)

Thanks

Collin

I have it...... I bought it from Raging motorsports with the install kit. Total was only like $100. It starts my car like it was a delco, and I have an aftermarket head unit. I don't leave the radio on though after I shut the car off. Also, I am not sure if the extreme cold will affect it or not?!! It is a good battery, and very light!!!!!!!! <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

is that a wet cell battery? you cant mount it on its side or in the spare tire well if it is

check this one out, i use it everyday in my car no problems so far.. it weighs 13# but you can put it in the hatch with no firewall because its a sealed cell... mount it on its side etc.

This saturday the cam and new pushrods are going in. Torsion diff. just to hold it over until I get my 12 bolt next month, and we are gonna try and patch up the exhaust leak while doing the cam.

When I take the car to get tuned I am gonna have a new mandrel bent 3 inch ORP made.


Out of the 2 which would you guys reccomend???? Price doesn't seem to matter since they are both the same price. I am kinda thinking the sealed one. I am not gonna mount it in the car htought because it would take like 5 pounds of cable to reach the back of the car.
