First: Yes I checked the forums and unfortunately, typing in battery replacement/battery/upgrade battery, brings up about 500 post. So here is a post I can follow.

I was thinking, might as well decrease the weight while I"m at it. So I did additional research on goggle.

I came up with: Odyssey PC545

Step By step on how to do it, but can't find a place that sells it.

Can anyone else recommend a battery like this that is actually sold at a local auto parts store or is this something I'm going to have to buy from the net and have it shipped?

 

so from what i understand you're looking to replace your battery with a lightweight one, right? talk to arin on here, 97supratt, he has/had super lightweight batteries in his z's.

 

go dave!

 

Anyone try this battery? More than half price than Odyssey PC680.

Thanks for all the feedback, I read the other post as well and now a tad concerned about all the electronics that will be installed. I was thinking of putting that new kenwood system. (the dvd/navi/bluetooth/ipod/double din.)
Hopefully I"ll have enough juice to start the car and all those gizzmo's. I'm going to keep the stock sound system and just upgrade the radio with a navi combo. I talked a little bit with the people at gotbatters.com and they suggested the pc680 ..which is the next step higher than pc545. I think it weighs around 14.2 lbs vs the 10.08. Still a huge difference with a little juice. However there is more info on making brackets for the pc545... I'll update once I confirm which battery I'll go with.
