Hawker makes affordable good ones,
Like this one

 

Do a search for Hawker, you can find them for very cheap.

 

get a lawnmower battery at sears for $35-$40, take a scale with you and weigh them

 

I've got an Odyssey PC680MJT.


It's so small it'll fit my motorcycle.. and it's more than enough for the car.

People look at it and wonder what it is at first.

 

I've heard stories of people going through Wal-Mart, opening bathroom scales, and weighing batteries to find the lightest one. And putting the bathroom scale back, of course.

Of course, this was for stock class autocross where your options are limited to OEM replacements.

 

thanks for all the good info.

 

go to pep boys. Find the smallest SLA battery they have (sealed lead acid) it should be about 8-9 lbs and be about 50 bux it's an energizer brand BTW

I've had 2 and my old one still runs my friends ignorance when he listens to his car stereo for 2 hours with the engine off

Me too. Gives room for the intake as well

 

I recently got the Hawker. About as expensive as a 'real' battery, but I took 30 lbs off the nose of the car.

mad tyte jdm powa! i actually did some research, it weighs 20-25lbs and costs $365...

 

Hawker batterys like this do not last long in a car generaly. They do not like a lot of vibration. I use a garden tractor battery from sears. Good warranty and are avaialble in a ton of different sizes and weights.

 

That Hawker looks exactly like my Odyssey, minus the red... like - EXACTLY like it.

Come from the same manufacturer?

You have to be kidding me. It is times like this that I feel I should start thinking about getting into business with a friend of mine who wants to start a company called "I Can't Believe It's Not JDM!"

 

yeah the site is found said 198 british pounds, which equals like 365ish... It also said the battery is a ~35% reduction in weight. I forgot what a stock battery weighs, but I assumed something like 32lbs.
