hey, my battery is DeaD! i need help finding a light weight one. i need to pick one up in about a week or two. i want one that is light weight, very reliable, and i guess just a good one lol. i heard something about a hawk brand or something like that but not sure really. cna you guys help me out here or give me a pointer. thanks.

 

no such thing as a light weight battery... they are all going to be roughly the same weight (a bit lighter if they are a bit less powerful).

if you want something extremely reliable and long lasting, get an optima battery, but those are about 2 to 3 times more expensive than a regular wet battery.

everything else out there is more or less the same, regardless of what your friend heard...

Not the case at all - something like an Odyssey PC-680 saves you about 25 pounds compared to the stock one. They're also quite a bit smaller, which can free up space for other things . . . You can find 'em on eBay for about $70 shipped.

Of course, it's not gonna be as ballsy as a big 40 pound yellow-top or something, but it'll start the car no problem, and last several years in a daily driver.

That battery is just a Re-badged HAWKER ODYSSEY battery

 

rebadging it bumped the price up like $40.

 

the batteries that weight 13 and less lbs are less reliable? do they last as long? they seem smaller and like half the size. does that change any performance or whtaever of it?

 

i think im sold....

 

the best would be the light wieght spoon battery thats the best

I may be mistaken - but I believe they're also rebadged Odyssey's.

how can they just rebadge them as a spoon?

 

How can anything be rebadged as anything? I dunno, it happens all the time - like the Spoon Iridium sparkplugs - rebadged NGK Iridiums that sell for $100+ instead of $35.

But the battery looks pretty similar . . .

Even if it is different, I can't see it outperforming anything else of comparable size & weight. And for $320, no thanks.

 

You can buy the hawker odyssey at "batteries plus". The're usually pretty pricey though (100+ dollars)

 

I use a hawker genesis g13ep 11lbs. i can get them for $50 shipped. i/m for info.
