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.

 

It's not worth the upgrade its what 25 lbs come on man really.

 

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.

 

Krang did you get the battery here?

 

At Battery Bills, yeah.

 

it's cheaper $ for lb than that catback you're running...so i guess worth is in the eyes of the beholder.

 

Hit that right on the head. No place on that car can I get 25lbs off with 1 piece. It's like a fat unicorn just waiting to be kicked.

Thanks for the input Krang and all. Guess i'll just order one up and go that route.

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.

 

Odyssey pc680mjt. Cheap on amazon, free shipping, and way lighter. Been using them for years.

 

^^ those are good too, still have one from years ago, it runs my lift. it is 10lbs or so, not the lightest, but more robust.

 

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.

 

shorai motorcycle lithium batteries are pretty darn good btw. cheap, under $100. just disconnect when storing the car.

 

Wait, he's building a racecar? Haven't seen it yet.

 

I guess we have all seen bits and pieces lol

 

Sig, if you find a 5 lb. battery on your trip, let me know. I need one too!
