I have a 95 accord coupe and i was looking for some ways to cut some weight on it. I have seen stuff about lightweight batteries, some of which weigh anywhere from like 23-11 lbs. I love the idea of dropping 15 lbs just by buying a pricey battery, but batteries are the one part of cars im not completely familiar with. I do have a pretty intense sound system setup including an aftermarket radio, an amp, 2 12" subwoofers in a box in the trunk and beefy aftermarket speakers. I dont know if that is a relevant factor but anyway I'm basically just wondering if I should bother with one of these really lightweight batteries. Like I said, I love the idea of dropping 15 lbs from the battery but I just need to know if it will be able to handle my subs and speakers and whatnot, if these lightweight batteries will hold up well on my daily driver. I have seen that these 'Braille' lightweight batteries have less cold cranking amps and cranking amps than a duralast platinum, but then again in my lack of knowledge, I dont even know if that's relevant. What do you know about it? thanks

 

these are meant for race cars not daily drivers with stereo systems. if your looking for performance then relocate the battery to the trunk to distribute the weight more evenly. you want weight reduction but you have 100lbs of stereo equipment in your trunk 15lbs is not going to make a difference you mite as well just remove the spare tire, jack stand, and tools that should gain you more then 15lbs. also keep your car at half a tank of gas gasoline weighs around 6-7 pounds a gallon your car has a 17 gallon tank so do the math.
