[QB]Hello there,
I was surfing Raughammer's web-page.... <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
Is it a good idea to buy this battery? ... As a weight loss mod? HECK YEA!

I mean, how long does it last ? ...Well, Mine is still going strong for over a year. It has not caused me a problem one.


I'm not a racer, but i'd like to get rid of 40lb stock battery....Hmmm, well. The smaller battery is going to have some issues that you will HAVE to deal with. Like turning on your radio and leaving you car door opened when parked some where with the car off. The battery has only a small reserve. You will drain it pretty fast. For example...leaving your dome light on all night long will kill it unlike the stock battery.

Please, give me some info, should i go with it or i shoulnd't ?
...Well thats up to you. If you do decide to go with it. PLEASE remember to keep the above considerations foremost in your mind. It is not a install it and forget it battery.

Which one to order?..... Man, i havent been to that page for so long, I'll go check.

Good luck.

 

Thank you much for your reply,
I'm not going to leave my car doors open, or listen to the radio when the car is off, so if there are no other bad sides of this battery, please let me know what the best part number i should go with

I bought one a few months ago, have yet to put
it in.
I bought it from thunder racing.Get the GM side
post adapters with it.
You also have to fabricate a strap to hold it in.
Bent aluminum strap will do.
I need the weight savings too!
I don't know how it performs yet.Hope this helps.

I think he means that you always have to remember
that it has a small reserve and have to be cautious
about leaving things on with the ignition off
which sucks cuz i like to leave my fans running
in the staging lanes.Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
