Installed RS-30 in 991 GT3 RS last weekend, very easy install. Car started up fine.

I ordered the ATX30 5.1lbs and mounting tray taking advantage of the July 4th 15% off sale. Looking forward to the huge weight savings.

You think that would be a good battery for a cayman race car?

The price on the ATX30 is insanely cheap for a lithium battery. If it works for a daily and track car and race car, and only ways 5.5 lbs, its the one the have. I cant tell from the website if that battery is intended for most of the cars we are running (GT3's, GT4's ,RS's etc). Seems like I read that Antigravity recommended the RS30, which was more expensive and weighed twice as much. ?

From all that I read on this here, the ATX30 is certainly good enough but the RS30 is even better. I just like the price and the lower weight of the ATX30 and sounds like operationally I wouldn’t notice the difference.

Next best thing is to lose weight, unless your BMI is already under 22. And it's relatively cheap...
Here is a simple calculator, for this not mathematically inclined: https://www.bcbst.com/providers/MPMTools/BMICalculator.shtm
