What's the dimensions on it and how much do they sell for? I assume that it's smaller than the red-top Optima battery like shown here: http://www.JDMshit.com/Battery/

BTW, the small battery works great if you have no alarm and no stereo. With an alarm, it'll run the battery down faster than a "stock" battery, but still has plenty of CCAs to crank the motor up in cold weather (30 degree mornings w/out any problems).

We installed a Baker 125/PB19 in my brother's car, and it has performed well. It's light, has significant CCA's and amp hours (for a lightweight battery), and isn't terribly expensive.
