what is the lightest battery?

Post by Sean Mandell »

Just trying to take some weight off the front end without relocating the battery.

does anyone know if the optima redtop is lighter than the interstate?

If you live in a place where it's hot and don't have a sound system you should try using a little battery from a little tractor to mow the lawn...

I think that they are 15$can at wal mart for the cheapest one, so you should give it a try they weight next to nothing

I've used hawker genesis 14aH batteries in a few cars with no trouble. Even started fine in sub zero weather.

motorcycle battery perhaps? lawn tractor batteries are also a good choice(very light) but they are quite expensive believe it or not(or at least they are where i work, probably because its a dealership)
