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 :D

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 :|

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
