what smaller and lighter battery can i put in my 4th gen lude? the stock **** is heavy as hell and its all the way in the front hurting turn-in for sure. i'll prolly put the new battery in the trunk and take out the spare tire all in the name of weight savings a better weight distribution.

hawker genesis g16p. 13 lbs, $60. so light that you don't even need to relocate the battery. SLA so it can be installed flat or upside down if you felt like it.

i've run one for 2 years and it's started the car every time. i don't have a system or a lot of other electrical loads.

 

mucho gracias. any other suggestions welcome.

 

I have a Hawker too , but it's mounted where the under hood fuse box would be.

 

im feeling lazy today so can you guys give me a link to it, or name a store that would have it

 

Any downsides to installing a light weight battery? Such as starting problems?

if you're running a system w/ a big amp and 2 TV's screens, there's probably a better battery out there for you.

also, if you live in cold climates, this battery won't do so well in cold weather.

but, if it's pretty warm where you live, and you've got a stock electrical setup, then this battery is money. i've never had a problem with it.

 

i heard there is a smaller performence racing battery? anyone has experience with it?

the smallest i've seen is the braille auto battery. it's f'in tiny.

but the price tag is f'in huge. more money than i'm willing to spend, esp if i can get a hawker for much less.

 

Yeah, I have a Braille. I think it's 11 lbs. or so & gets the job done & cost around $150. I didn't know about those $60 Hawkers when I bought it, so when I get a battery for my EF it will probably be a Hawker.

 

jhpusa.com had the NRG cell battery, but I no longer see them in their online catalog, they now have Buddyclub racing batteries at 150$ and weight 16 pounds. I live in NJ and winter is brutal at times here and I had put some thoughts myself about getting one of this mini cells.

 

password jdm sells baker lightweight batteries. They are pretty damn small and weigh like 15 lbs i think. I just got one delivered to my house but haven't put it in yet. They cost around $150.

 

the question about these little battery is which one has the biggest ***** to start a prelude in very cold winter weather and lightest too. The buddyclub seems pretty stout since it's designed for racing, I'm going to email them about it.

 

braille

 

who sells these braille?

 

braille does
http://www.brailleauto.com/

 

holy crap that's expensive their all season at 15 pounds is $179 without shipping. The buddyclub is $150 without shipping at 16 pounds.

 

wat about a civic or integra battery?

 

i don't know about the civic or integra battery but i use a lawn mower battery that has 340 cca and it has been 100percent reliable for over 2 years. So. Cal weather and no audio/visual setup helps too. 26 dollars for 24 lbs.

 

Just got my Braille 15 pounder in. I decided on Braille since CT can get cold at times during the spring and fall. Braille was the best cranking amps I could find.
