Lightwheight racing battery's

Post by **JEBB4** » Wed Jul 12, 2017 3:48 am

I am going to do a battery relocation on my bb2 and I'm wanting a good battery that can be mounted in the car so I think it must be a dry cell or gel?? (Correct me if I'm wrong..

I've had a look on the net and seems to be a lot of choice so I'm just curious as to what other people have run and how well they have lasted be it daily driven or track onlyz

Mucho appreciation

Ive used a Odyssey Extreme Racing 22 Battery on a few of my cars its not the most lightweight at 6kg but did the job great on my Impreza and gt4 even when i was using them both daily for a while.

Ahh yeah, I've had a look and they seem to be only like 170cca which is rather low, I don't know much about them as suppose to regular wet cell battery's which my car currently runs about a 350 cca

I went from this lump in the bb4

to this a few months ago

Halved it,not a light weight but a huge saving,10kg is big though in our cars,the original one in the first pic could run a tractor!

Terminals just fit on it too

as long as your car starts right away it will be fine, if it takes more than 4-5 cranks it starts to fall on its arse
