What is the lightest performance battery that I could buy right now for under $75? Also, is battery relocation legal in CSP?

 

I've also been curious about a lighter battery. I've heard of some people using motorcycle batteries, but i'm not sure they have enough power. Anyone elso know?

 

There's a guy in a neon(does auto-x) that uses a small lawn tractor battery from sears(cheap and lightweight, not like those expensive batteries from dynabatt).

 

I need something that I can use as a daily driver battery too. I am wanting to relocate and swap to something a lot lighter than your average batteries.

 

Look here!

Sears has a lawn tractor battery with about 300 cca (I think). It's my next battery.

 

Keep in mind that 300CCA isn't much to begin with, and will be even less at the well below freezing temps NY undergoes.

 

my lude calls for like 600 cca or something like that... would 300 be ok to start smoothly?

 

1/3 of the size and weight Expensive though

 

Soon there will be nothing Spoon doesnt' put their name on!

 

Will that spoon battery work for everyday use? Will I be able to mount it in the rear of my CRX too?

 

Can't comment on which battery to get, but relocating to the trunk is perfectly withing the rules for any SP class. You may need a batter cover, however, if it's in a hatch and not a trunk.

 

Yes, But if you have any aftermarket equipment (Stereos amps etc.) it will drain the battery quicker than with the stock unit. Seeing that this is the competition forum though I doubt that would be a problem. To run it to the rear of the car I would suggest a 0 or 2 gauge cable and a Moroso battery Box
PS the Spoon Battery is a Gel Type

 

i want a start a new brand....Fork

 

Well the problem is that I just got a Stereo system for my car yesterday for my birthday. Its nothing big just and amp and some other speakers to replace the stock ones. Its nice but I dont know how much more power it will take up. I could always use a good everyday battery everyday and when I auto-x I could change out the batteries. I am going to take the amp out when auto-xing.

 

Oh yeah. I was looking last night and saw some Optima Batteries. A friend of mine has one. He said they are nice. They weigh like 30 pounds though. I want something a little lighter than that.
