Probably not the lightest of the bunch, but lighter than stock.

The yellow-top is sealed, but not lightweight.

Here's a link for you:

Take out your A/C, lose your beer belly, and take a dump = weight reduction.

do light weight batteries last as long as regular batteries?

bump for a good question. anyone?

 

I'd say they last longer... dry-cells usually do.

 

I have thought about getting a lightweight battery, but I don't want to give up the "comfort" of the oem battery - something I never have to worry about. Will one of these lightweight batteries (like the TypeOne) have any issues that will make them more of a pain in the *** than they are worth (not starting the car on the first turn for example)?

 

even my oem batteries dont start on the first turn

 

i have the soon battery with the mounting bracket and it is very light compared to oem. life span on it is good. starting does take a bit more juice. i tend to crank the starter a little longer than an oem one. the spoon battery didnt hold charge for too long. i left the car untouched for a week and had to jump. performance is the same except on the CCA spoon took a tad bit longer to start up but once it was running voltage measured sufficient. I did notice that my headlights were a little dim until i revved past 1500RPm with the spoon. i switched back to oem size due to lack of usage of the car.

For what it's worth, I've been using the T1R battery for over a year now on my daily driven car in Vancouver weather conditions. The car starts up immediately everytime.
