So I am still just using a normal battery at this stage in the track civic. Will be investing in a lightweight battery to help save some kilos.
Since my car does not run a stereo or alarm what would be the best/lightest/most suitable battery for my application? What are other guys using on their trackcars? I am using a mildly built b20vtec.
I have looked at batteries like these for example (these three batteries listed here can be had for pretty much the same price by the way)
- Deka ETX16L - 7.7kg
specs:
Voltage: 12
CCA: 275
Capacity (Ah): 19
Reserve Capacity: NA
- Odyssey PC680 - pretty much the same as the Deka
specs:
PC 680 Specs:
* 680 cranking amps for 5 seconds
* 595 cranking amps for 10 seconds
* 525 cranking amps for 20 seconds
* 17 amp hours
* Short circuit current over 1800A
* 25 minute reserve capacity with 25amp load
But then I found this:
- Braille B106 - 3.1kg
specs:
Performance
Voltage: 12 Volts
Full Charge Voltage: 13.8 Volts
Short Circuit Current (Max Amps): 760
Pulse Cranking Amps (PCA): 527
Cranking Amps (CA): 283
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 210
Amp Hour (AH) - Electrical Capacity: 10
Reserve Capacity (RC): Less than 20 minutes
Life Cycle @ 10% DOD: 2000
according to their website it is suited to applications involving 4cld cars for racing only, ok for hot climates etc

If that will be not enough then there is this:
-Braille B14115 - 5.2kg
specs:
Voltage: 12 volts
Full Charge Voltage: 13.8 Volts
Pulse Cranking Amps (PCA): 904
Cranking Amps (CA): 486
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 360
[B]Amp Hour (AH) - Electrical Capacity: doesn't say
