I gave up on "small lightweight" batteries. I use a full size NAPA Orbital now....haha.

The issues far outweigh the benefits from my experiences.

Kinda conservative on weight, but it's nice and compact.

I use a street bike battery. As long as the alternator works, I haven't had a problem.

This new battery we got from Oreily is working pretty good.

brand: Super Start
# Length: 6 7/8in.
# Width: 3 7/16in.
# Height: 6 1/8in.
cranking amps: 310
Cold cranking amps:270

Has more CCA than the oddysey battery for cheaper too. Plus you can get it locally.

I always hear about people having issues with odyssey batteries however I've never had an issue. Most of the different brands use the same hawker cores anyways.
