Lithium Battery? Local?
Hopefully someone on here can have a better idea where to pick something like this up at.
What I'm looking for is a replacement for my 05 sti's 35 pounder and to drop weight to a Lithium <5lb @ 500CCA 12volts. Something like the picture attached.
I called up Battery Bill's in Mapunapuna and they were a no go. Only carry small moped/motorcycle battery's that don't have the cranking amps to do the job.
Anyone know of a place?
Thanks in advance, appreciate it.

Hes building a racecar, its absolutely worth the upgrade if you know how hard it is to find somewhere else to drop 25lbs while maintaining the ruleset....
Brett, your best bet is to order online. It's a lithium battery so they shouldn't have a problem shipping it. However, if you don't want to do that, the Oddesey battery I used in my wagon did a great job and is still kickin for DD duties with the new owner.

I got a Ballistic Evo 12 cell from amazon.com. $180 i think. Only 400 or so CCA. But starts the miata fine, and it sits for months at a time. I think the subie might want the 16 cell. Thats over 500CCA I think.
And, under 3lbs. Best bang for the buck. And you lose weight at the corner of the car.

hmm i'll take that one into consideration as well.
Honestly looking to cut out as much weight as possible and keep charge as well over long durations of... hibernation or jackstands in other words.
Lithium is crazy expensive unless I can find a deal, might just bring back one from Vegas if I can find it since it's only a few pounds. *shrug*
thanks for the info guys, I really appreciate it.
