Nothing special, just wanted to post up a picture of the lightweight racing battery and how freaking small it is. If you cant find it , lol ..its the black box to the right of the injen intake. Still need to do a few more minor things but got it in there real good and sturdy. Just shot the pic tonight. What do you think ? I really like it. As long as it continues to crank the car up, its all good to me.

it was 100.95 and believe it or not i didnt weigh it yet. but they say its 15 pounds. i had a stock nissan battery i replaced. and it was 35 pounds, so it cut a quick 20 lbs. off. the battery could be lighter. need to weigh the little thing.

website i bought it from:

the battery cranks with ease, we have also had a few nights in the 20's and cold days, and the battery has no problems at all.

I plan on getting on of those once spring rolls in. I have a buddy with a heavily modified Contour SVT and he has a Dynabatt battery which Odessey has become so technically he has the same battery as you. It's been in single digits here and he's still running the freaking thing!!!! He did say his car was have a harder time starting when it's 20 out and he hasn't started the car in 24+ hours. In 30+ degree weather he's had no problems. I believe he's had for 2 years now.

I figure with the battery (-26lbs), CF hood (-26lbs) and Millenia 15s with 225/50 drag radials (-15lb, both side), I'll have shed almost 70lbs from the front end when running at the track

Bringing up an old one. Ceasar have you had any troubles with this yet? My car is definitely a three season car so I'm not worried about the cold. I'm only worried about its capability to effeciently run a system when the car is on. Do you ever keep the car in accessory mode or is that not possible any longer with this thing? Did you ever weigh it? I like it for the weight and the fact that I can hide it away in the fender.
