Lightweight batteries, what are people using and why? Advice appreciated...
Thinking to save some weight through swapping my heavy standard battery to a lightweight race style one, looking for suggestions and advice.
Using the car for circuit and hillclimbs and driving to and from events (up to 200km away). Not a dedicated track car but, also, not a daily driver.
Anyway, I was looking at SSB lithium, mainly because they state "SSB PowerSport Lithium Batteries are also one of the only Lithium Ion Batteries that can be charged using normal 12V car battery chargers / alternators." which sounds useful.

Interested to know what others are running and why... thanks!

My standard battery just went flat from non use and won't take a full charge anymore. I'm looking into these at the moment.
Will probably get the fullriver, the no name one claims to be 400cca but I don't think it will live up to it for the price. No other manufacturer makes a 400cca in that size and weight AGM battery from what I can see. Doesn't seem legit.

*Edit due to failure to read further before bagging. Advice above still stands though!

Fail by me.
Hadn't researched further that it was slang for LiFePO 4.
Still think their claims are over the top.
"With this simple modification, you will immediately notice sharper steering response and improved turn in."

US$399 + shipping (if they will even ship to Aus). Not worth it IMO but if you have money to burn go ahead.
