Try and PM Burt or Stacey. I think IIRC, they both had one in their car?

I like that one! But in all seriousness, here in HI, you don't have to worry about the cold starts like mainland people do. So we can use smaller batteries.

I'd suggest going with the B3121. It still lighter and can handle to rigors of daily driving. The ultra lite didn't last too long for me and the cranking Amps are not as stated. Braille is a killer company. They make good on their warranty claims so keep your receipt and buy from a registered dealer.

I was running an Odyssey lightweight before I sold my car. Great battery and helps free up some room under the hood. Since they are sealed they also allow you to relocate your battery say to the trunk. The only problem with batteries like these are if you allow them to fully drain, they wont recharge. There is a guy on island who stocks these, I think the place is called Battery Bills

This.

You guys have to worry much less than anyone that gets extreme cold.

yeah the GC is already very light. with the additional horsepower and plans to change the heavy steel hood for an aluminum or carbon, I am afraid the car will fly off the road.
