Light weight battery

I was lookiin into getting a lightweight battery and battery hold down for my 95 z28. I came upon the braile batterys and they look like what I want but im unsure what model to get. Has anyone done this/what model is the best? I am only running an alternator also, the lighter the better. Thanks for the help

I have been using Braille B2015(15 lbs.) lightweight battery with no issues. But then the car is a weekend only car with no accessories(stereo,a/c, p/s). You can purchase adapters from them or pep boys.
