I just install my Spoon battery but find out that the postive and negative round thing can not hold on to the battery, what can i do.. I pls help... I want to get my car start asap..

 

Hmm, I just ordered a Spoon battery too, so, I imagine that I will have the same problem as you. What if you went to a stereo shop and got one from there. I don't know if they would have one that is small enough or not.

Let me know what comes of this.

 

give one of the spoon dealers a call

u can try A&J... one of their civics is using the spoon battery so they should know what to do. their number is 604.279.0329

 

how much is the SPOON battery?

 

too much $$$$$
not worth it

 

Ah just use any small battery....

 

ahh the lengths at which people go for parts.

 

i know when i got my JDM engine, the harness had the JDM battery clamps on it. Might look around for someone that has one laying around im sure someone has it, i think i still have mine. The positive side is about the same size as a US negative and the negative is smaller. HTH

 

Other than some weight savings (and the JDMness of it all) what are the advantages fo the Spoon battery?

 

Would purchasing a race battery (such as Spoon) be practical for daily usage? I mean, logically the batteries will have fewer cells to reduce the weight. Thefore, the amount of charge in the battery (without the motor running) must be a lot less than OE sized batteries correct? If that's the case then all it's really good for is to start the car, NOT to power any type of accessories while the car isn't running.

I'm probably totally off-base...

 

speaking of batteries, is there only one size batt. made by optima, for the yellow tops?....

 

damn Spoon Battery??? Wes actually bought one? You guys ARE crazy!

I hear theres a battery half the size of stock for sale at Walmart. It weighs 10 pounds if I remember correctly.

 

If I recall, the Spoon battery is 13.7 lbs, versus 21 lbs for the stock battery. The 7 lbs weight saving costs $400 or so. Unless one were competing at a national level, the cost/performace ratio would be hard to justify. Of course, it is nice to have new toys!
