I need a new battery.

I always for saving a bit of weight if it isn't to much effort.

I was thinking along the lines of a Varler Red Top or Powervamp.

So has anyone fitted a lighter battery and if so what make/model. Any discount going?

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Dave (?)

Had this reply via pm;

i got an Odyssey PC680 battery, good little unit hasnt let me down yet and i dont use the car very often. here the facts on it....

Drycell Battery
12 Volt
16 Ah @ 10hr rate
220 CCA
680 Cranking Amps for 5 Seconds
24 Minute Reserve Capacity
7kg Weight


They are a 'dry cell' battery. The acid is absorbed in a glass matt so there is none to spill out, even if the casing is split open.
