Porsche Motorsport LiON (Lithium Ion) lightweight battery. I have an "extra" one to sell. Have it listed on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=290604617127

Used about one month, in perfect condition with box and paperwork. Cheapest weight loss you will ever find. Trouble free, compatible with any modern battery charger (if needed) and will fit and operate perfectly in any newer Porsche.

These sell through Porsche parts department (and Suncoast) for $2895.00, if you order it with the car- $1700. I put a buy it now price of $1400 on the Ebay listing for my RL friends
A lightweight lithium-ion battery is optionally available for the Boxster Spyder, the 911 GT3 models and the 911 GT2 RS. Its shape and function are comparable to those of a conventional lead battery. However, the lithium-ion battery offers a weight saving of more than 10 kg (22 lbs!) in comparison with the conventional vehicle battery used as standard in the 911 GT3 models. Compared to the conventional battery, the lithium-ion battery has the following advantages:

• Lower height by approx. 70 mm (over 35%)

• Almost 100% usable battery capacity

• Uniformly high power output, regardless of the charge state

• Improved charge take-up and a greater number of charge/discharge cycles

• Lower self-discharge and longer shelf-life

Due to its similarity with conventional vehicle batteries (housing shape, fastening system and electrical connections), it can be quickly installed to replace the standard lead battery, e.g. for use on race circuits. The compact construction is outstanding, featuring a translucent upper housing cover with uniform arches, as well as high-grade battery terminals made from brass alloy. The housing arches and their semi-transparent design show the position and clear arrangement of the 4 lithium-ion cells.

Due to its design, the power output of the lightweight battery is limited below 0°C. The inclusion of the lithium-ion battery enables the use of a lightweight vehicle battery for enhanced performance.

 

On EBay you say this battery is new and here you say you used it for one month. Is it new or used?

 

Tempting... I'm your easiest mark if you told me you could feel a handling difference from the reduced weight

 

It means he used it for 1 month, but you can't tell.
The seller has sold a bunch of stuff on Rennlist including to me.
Always delivers as expected

 

Savyboy is a standup guy. Wouldn't hesitate buying stuff from him. Mike

 

so tempting...

 

Exactly. Then again it comes out to $100+ per kg saved...

 

that's cheap thrills!

 

Can it be shipped internationaly??

 

Just changed it to "Used" but it was cumulatively in use for ~1 month. Sorry for the confusion

Imagine 1/4 tank fuel plus another 30lbs lost from the battery. I will open myself to the slings and arrows and say I can feel the weight reduction? But I do a lot of track days and have sensitive feel for anything different. If you do a handful of track days annually you likely won't feel it.

Correct. Correct. And...correct lol...

You are very kind Mike- I will pay you when I see you next time

DO IT!

Jimmie speaks the truth On a cost per pound of weight reduction calculation this is actually a huge bang for the buck.

Unfortunately no, lithium batteries require special handling and must be shipped via ground Sorry

 

You can ship it internationally. Use USPS. I got my Li-ion battery from California.

 

If you haven't sold it, I will take it.

 

SOLD!
