Battery Tender BTL35A480C Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery
This is not in my car yet, i used it on an rv dolly i bought temporarily and i must say, it lasted way longer then even the big gel battery that my rv came with to move my rv.
I will try it soon to see how it starts the car

So, I went from an LS1 Corvette to an LS3 Corvette water pump. I did this because it has a shallower pulley profile and it moves the radiator hose outlet closer to my driver's side radiator inlet.
The surprising thing was, I could feel the difference in weight. So I weighed them. LS1 water pump -12 pounds. LS3 water pump - 8 pounds.
I can also feel the rotational weight difference between the LS1 big bell pulley and the thin profile LS3 pulley. So far, all win.

Yes, it is a Vette water pump and I have Vette accessory drive. The belt lines up well. There are a few differences: 1.) Location of the water pump exit to the radiator. 2.) The water pump inlet is about 1/2" further toward the passenger fender. 3.) The water pump thermostat housing is angled more toward the ground.
