I need a battery for the turbo car. I've got a marine battery box located in the trunk, but I can scrap that if needed. I'd like as light a battery as possible, but the turbo car is sometimes difficult to start, so it's gotta be able to crank it over for a little bit if neccessary at least (like 30 seconds of cranking).

I am on Oddysey's website right now. Anyone with opinions on any lightweight batteries.

 

here is one I found http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache...+Battery&hl=en

 

cool thanks bud.

 

go with optima red top, its by far the best batt out there man, skrew dem little yellow tops, i ran a 300 zx TT and i swear the over all strength of the car incressed with that batt

 

Talk to SR and see what he uses. I saw his at Maxus and it is very small.

Been using it in the Evo with no problems so far

That is what you want

 

+1 for the Odyssey 680. I'm quite happy with mine. Never had to crank it more than once.

EDIT: that Braille one looks pretty interesting too...

 

yea i found that one searching around myslef supposedly a very good battery and only 11.5 pounds that is lighter thna the odyssey. supposedly that battery is what ralley cars use but it is know available for the public

 

Neal, this thread that The Wizard started several weeks ago is awesome. I am going to try Jime's idea....

i think ima end up gettin the odyssey pc680mjt. it's a little heavier than the braille battery somebody posted about, but it's like half the price. seems to be a good option costwise.

 

krismax has a rather nice one. shoot me for not knowing it off the top of my head. are CCA a concern?

 

how much does an regular battery weight anyway?

 

30-40 lb and up. This is a very affordable method of shaving 30lb. People pay $600+ for a CF hood to shave 30lb.

 

I dono if this will work for you but there was a thread about this somewhere and people are using the batteries outta the the jump starters they sell pepboys. They are like 4lbs or so. One guy uses one daily and keeps a spare with him charged. Very light battery and there only like $40. Just another idea for you to keep in mind if you want it for 1/4 mile racing.

 

Uh.....yeah............thanks. That's pretty much why I linked everyone to the thread you are talking about in post #10 of this very thread.
