i'm flipping through some pages of my newly acquired vtec magazine and here's an accord flossing a SPOON labeled battery-i didn't know such an animal existed.... i found only one thread in HT's bank, and i'm more intrigued as to the benefits of it and the experience of those who have used it for a while(compared to die hard )anyone know the $$?-i bet mike(ips) has one stashed somewhere in his closet in a shoebox anyone with pics and/or experience please post.

 

it's smaller and lighter....

also hella expensive..... but it's Spoon.....

 

There are pics on http://www.aj-racing.com. It's VERY EXPENSIVE.

 

I have 8 Spoon Batteries, powering 4 pumps & Dumps in my Type-R low-low

 

 

How expensive is very expensive? I couldn't find a price online.

Also, does Optima make a small-form-factor battery? I love the red top I have in my Scout, but I'd have to mount it inside the Integra...

 

I could've used a Spoon battery today. My R wouldn't start. It's been hibernating for about 2 months now and that damn Clifford alarm must've drained all the juice.

 

at the current exchange rate (as of 8:12am PST):

sp00m batt = $211
sp00m batt tray/holder = $90

 

Does anyone know if a motorcycle or ATV battery will work on our cars? These are light as hell and small too.

 

I've looked around, and all seem to be 6V and dont have enough cold cranking amps.

 

Mike:
In one of my jdm books, it showed an EG running on R/C batteries. It looked like two stix of dynomite - juju

 

Mike, the Neon guys here in Phoenix have been running Lawn Tractor batteies for a while with no problems. $20 at Wal-Mart and they weigh around 15 LBS I believe, 1/2 the weight of a stock battery.

 

What about that Shawn guy from FF, what kind of battery does he have in his EK.
I think it's some kind of motorcycle battery.

You can also try the battery out of the 84-87 Civic/CRXs, it's pretty small.

 

I run a motorcycle battery in my civic/B18c5 hybrid. Its OE from a honda goldwing...weighs in at about 4 lbs, and has plenty of cranking power. afterall it was build for a 1600cc motor with plenty of accessories....I wouldn't run one in a daily driver in winter up north...but for racing it kicks ***. $65....

only downside is that its a high maintence battery so you have to keep the electrolyte levels up, etc...but no big deal.

I know the NSX guys use Odyssey batteries, which are nice dry cell batteries. They are lighter and have plenty of CCA. I think they actually use a motorcycle sized battery (PC680). I recall that you need to make sure they send you the right terminals though (car terminals).

What do you mean by high maintenence? I would like one, but not if it's a pain in the ****.


PS
found info on Power Sonic Battery

PS-12180
11x3x6.5
13.10 lbs
"F2" Quick disconnect tabs (0.250" x 0.032")"NB" Nut & bolt connector
12 Volts (6 cell in series)

 

Those Spoon batteries are $300 at JDMhonaparts.com

 

I need a deep cycle battery. Think the Spoon will help?

 

I need to start stamping parts with "Fork" and tripling the cost.

LOL

 

IntegraT--- where did you find those pics on FFSquad??

did katman finally update the site?? I can't find em....

 

it means you have to keep the fluid level up.
Modern cars come with maintenance free batteries

 

it's not listed anywhere on his site. you just have to kinda sn00p around.

hint: check the url in the pic above

 

No he didn't hurry up KATMAN
They're in an obscure area I'll IM it to you, don't want to **** anyone off.
