[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 361495, member: 7376"] There are some REALLY lightweight batteries available. Look into the auto racing industry. There is at least one battery, designed for drag racing without an alternator, that weighs around 4 lbs, IIRC. But figure $1000 for one. Optima USED to be an awesome battery. Operations have moved to Mexico, and ever since then they haven't been quite as stellar. Might be worth looking at Deka batteries. I haven't looked at their site lately, just google it. East Penn Deka batteries, their site had all kinds of batteries listed on it at one point. And last I checked, they had a phone number to call if you had questions. Got an Optima red top in my tin boat. Bought it 1/18/2001. Still kicking. If you take care of it, they'll last a LONG time! Charger is on mine when it's not being used. Was in the race car, then in the bass boat, then in the old Grumman, now in my War Eagle; and I believe I had it in the Mustang for a little while too. [/QUOTE]
