The lightest battery?
I'm going to need a new battery before the winter is out, so I thought I'd do my research before I get stranded. I love my Z06 and I'm all about adding lightness, so is there one battery in particular that provides a definitive weight advantage over the others?

I have used the Odyssey 925 on my old car (Supra) without any problems. It is 26 pounds. They will last a couple of years. Just don't let the car sit too long. I plan on doing this on the Z06 when my current battery goes. I would guess you would need to use a battery tender with a smaller battery like the 680.

I though the yellow top was a bigger battery but it weight less?
Edit : I guess it matters which yellow top you choose

You could also consider the LPE rear battery relocator.
Takes the weight of the battery from the front, and adds it to the rear well, where it'll actually benefit traction.
Just a thought.

I'll have to add this to the wish list. Probably too late for this Christmas.
