I figured someone might want to know about shaving a good amount of pounds from the car. i believe it a about 40 pounds less than stock

enjoy

this is next on my list

I already have a similar product in my car, although slightly larger (although a smaller one was available 9lbs seemed to be the sweet spot in terms of longevity and weight.)

I run a LithiumPros L925

I've had it in the car for over 4-5 months now without a single problem. Street driven, parked for a week at a time, driven on the track multiple times. Well worth the money.

And here I thought paying $100 for duralast on my e30 was bad... LOL!

Braille battery has numerous options with varying weight/power, including a 6.9lb option with an MSRP of $148

Keep in mind there is an amperage compromise in reducing battery size & weight

Running the same battery in my race car. So far works great, its lighter
than a Odessey PC680 with some some serious CCA and capacity. Not
cheap compared to AGM batteries, but much cheaper than the Lithium
Braille's.

Normally with a small battery there are plenty of compromises, I can't tell you how many of the Odyssey batteries I've had go bad over the years. Tried trickle charging, battery kill switches, running them every day. Anytime you had a problem with a car and couldn't get it fired up within 3 tries, she was never going to fire. As a result I've always been turned off on the smaller batteries but run them out of necessity and just swapped as needed ( I think our turbo Porsche race car was on it's 4th one in 1.5 years before we switched to LithiumPros). When the Lithium batteries came out they where super expensive and while I thought it was a great Idea, the cost was just a bit excessive at the time, well north of $2,400. When I saw the LithiumPro and what it delivered for the price, I still felt it was a little steep, but for what it delivers and the weight savings it was worth every penny. There are no compromises other than price. I can leave my car parked for weeks at a time, have driven it on the street, on the track, in the snow, and daily in 100 degree heat and haven't had one hickup yet and don't expect to. If you look at what Lithium is delivering in cell phones, tablets and laptop these days, it's no wonder battery manufactures are making the most out of this technology. Eventually the cost will come down but for the weight savings it delivers over other modifications it's still currently a bargain.

The New 911 GT3 lithium ION Battery looks tempting....

Link for a price in that neighborhood? I don't see anything near that price.

[ZStig]

I'd rather buy a 14lbs $100 battery and I bet I can make up the other 10lbs with the leftover $1k

[gcochard]

light, reliable, cheap...pick two

Good point

[krnnerdboy]

Ive been running my pc680 for three years now and it's only driven once a week at max, which is worse than driving it daily. I did have issues in the beginning until I had it deep charged at autozone, and miraculously has been issue free for the past year. Can't beat it at $100 price point

Hey resellers, can anyone organize a group buy on the LithiumPros L925 for 10%-15% off?? I'm interested.
