Super Small Battery

[Goat Blower]

I think Joe Gangster is Rick's son. Their posts have a similar vibe. ;)

My car works very well with the smaller battery. I don't have any neons, a stereo or other power robbing accessories. My car is substantially lightened, so saving some extra weight with the battery serves a purpose. It also unclutters the engine bay and makes the tranny that much more accessible for quick clutch swaps at the track.

I had a rear mounted battery, I didn't like the extra complication so I put the mini battery up front directly on the subframe. Does exactly what I want, saves me 20+ lbs and they're cheap. So I have to replace it each year at $20 a crack, fine with me.
And you don't have to put a cutoff switch on the back of the car to make it legal at drag strips.

who's rick? and i'm sorry if i sound rude, why am i called someone's son, i sense someone is comparing me to another and belittling/inferiorizing me by calling me a son. i'm not a son of anyone but my dad, Dr. Geng, Ph.D., M.D..

I have a heavy car, therfore I should have a heavy battery.
Thats my reasoning on this topic, lol.

He was just kidding.... :)

That and the fact the average age on this board is something in the early 20's, and Rick is 56 makes it a solid assumption.

If you don't know Rick's posts, you won't get it.

What do you have in mind? Pull-start? Kick-start? I assume that you mean the small battery is not needed ;) To be honest though, after taking out a regular batt (34lbs) and putting in the 10.8 lbs I could feel a bit more responsivness from the front-end.
