AGM Batterys, we'll see!
I looked here and at other car forums on the light weight battery issue and went with this. 
This was the largest motorcycle battery I could find. Test weight 21.4 lbs., 385cca , 28 ah. China made. 1year warranty from Battery Plus. $100. For about $130 you can buy the exact same battery with a 2 yr warranty just remember the sales guy will tell you it's much better, built different with better materials. They weigh the same and juggle the specs about 5% so you just bought a $30 warranty extend. The Brailles are the costliest in any given size but since they have the same case sizes and weigh close to the same as other AGM batterys you are buying little more for twice the $100. I'll see over time if on a street car this compact AGM battery performs as well as the stock one. For more money you are getting less of everthing here in the conversion. Less CCA, warranty, AH, and weight, the primary motivation. Maybe I bought a 13lbs weight saving headache!
