Lightweight batteries anyone?

if it is weight savings you want, then just replacing the battery with a race battery is the way to go imo.

To each his own I suppose :)

I'm all for adding lightness, and balance in whatever quantities I can. If that means removing 30lbs from the front of the car, adding 15lbs to the back, and maybe 1-2lbs over the length of the car, that works for me ;)

Factoring in the weight of the cables is glaringly good point I never thought of in nearly 7 years of modding cars
