my initial reaction was rice, but compared to the weights of similar CA, these things are less than half the weight of a regular lead battery http://trinituner.com/acl/powermaster/index.php Shocked

Plus looking at the sizes and the CA that it pushes, these would be a good option for me as i have the smallest battery available as the coldpipe for the FMIC now takes up a lot of room where the original battery was

Another good option is the PC680 and PC925 from Odyssey. These are also compact dry cell batteries but about half the price of the braille. Here is the PC925 next to a standard size battery.

For a daily driver I would put an Optima Red Top in the trunk and just swap it for an Odyssey when going to the track. That way the cold pipe for the intercooler does not become a problem.
