"Lightest Battery for a C5?"

Can anyone recommend a light weight battery? I have 768RWHP and I want to cut weight. Thanks, Paul

I've got a 13.5 lb Hawker Genesis in my 01 Z06. Works great (it's several years old although I didn't put it into service until recently).

19.2 lbs lighter than the OEM unit.

The Odyssey is made by Hawker to, but supposed to be geared toward use in a vehicle

Wow,
With that much horsepower,I would think the weight wouldn't be of much issue,but the relocation and placement of weight over the rear wheels might yeild better results

Just a thought..

That's light alright. But it doesn't have much of a reserve to it. It's very expensive too. The weight you save you could make up with just a couple more HP.

Understood, but he asked about the lightest, and that is about the lightest. They also have another model: Bigger lightweight battery It also has a higher reserve rating.
