so my battery on the MY01 is finally at the last of its years... i've done some searching and found that the optima battery saves about 15lbs. do they sell those at just autozone or pep boys or do i have to special order those? btw, any other lightweight battery options available?

 

my brother has one on his delsol. i remember him mentioning that it doesnt hold that much juice (ie: if you have a system). he doesnt have a radio so i guess it does the job alright for him.

 

get a spoon battery

 

Spoon and FEEL'S both have small lightweight batteries. I believe Hawker is brand I've heard mentioned before as well.

 

Hawker batteries work really well, I used a 10.8 pounder and never had a problem with it (factory stereo, summer only).

 

You can buy the Hawker battery in the S2Ki Marketplace. Big thumbs up--I've had one on my S for over two years and it's still cranking strong--even in the frigid CA winters!

 

couldn't find Hawker battery in the S2Ki marketplace.... anywhere else sells it?

 

I couldn't find it in the Marketplace either. I remember when I bought mine it was from a guy in Florida. I setup a group-buy on them and they came to $23 shipped each! I'll see if I can find that guy again.

 

A&J racing have the T1R (Type 1 Racing) light-weight battery. give them a call!!
i got mine from them...here is a picky...if i remember it right, i save 11 lbs. i did a comparison on both the OEM vs. T1R battery...linky...

That looks like a motorcycle battery. How many amps is it?
