What's the lightest battery that fits the hole? How about the cheapest?

Never drive it in the Winter so no real power needs. I need to tie it down for track inspections and do so using the stock size with lips at the bottom.

 

Lots of views; no posts.

Who has bought a battery in the last year? What did ya think of it and the price?

 

Go to K Mart have the best battery for the price.

 

Not entirely clear what your real goal is - if you want super light you will have to go with a smaller footprint battery which will require an alternate mount than the bottom end tabs. Any battery that long will be pretty heavy I think. If you can make up an alternate mounting system you could go as small as a 15Ah Odyssey MC680 style - about 17Lbs I think. This is also well less than half the stock size - suitable for track but probably not really practical for daily driving... a very small RC.

Certainly not the cheapest option though

trim the weight somewhere else , a 928 likes a good strong battery .

 

There are three manufacturers that make all the different battery brands sold in the US. Consumers Reports has the breakdown by brand/manufacturer. Get one made by Johnson Controls (such as Interstate).

If you want a real light weight racing battery try Braille "No Weight" batteries - again, not cheap.

You can get crazy light with a Lion Battery. But be prepared to spend $2300.
