I wouldn't think that it would be worth the trouble and expense just to save what little weight you would save.

Depends on what you mean by "lightweight".
As long as it has enough (correct) cold cranking amps (CCA), then you should be OK.
Personally, I would stick with a good name-brand battery. There have been hundreds of battery threads here on the Forum. Do a search.

Buy the original Delco, It is much improved. And if you want to feel safer buy a battery mat to place under the battery should it ever leak.

well so called "racing" batteries are about 15 lbs to 16 lbs, and can produce enough CCA's to crank a Vette engine.
"Stock" batteries are about 45 lbs or slightly higher so you do save on weight.
Costs range from 160.00 to 350.00+
