Default C6 battery replacement, any place for weight savings?

My C6 battery is getting weak, looking to replace it. I figure since I am in the market of blowing $150, I might as well look to see if i can shave a few lbs here and there. Anyone know of a battery where I can say about 5lbs without giving up the CCA and reserve? I drive my car daily, so need the thing to start.
