I'm sure it's been covered before but looking for a lightweight 12V battery recommendation over my current Optima red top battery that weighs 38 lbs

How much do you want to spend?

Keeping it reasonable like $300 or under
It is only a battery after all

I actually just posted about this topic on my FB page. I replaced my Optima with a Big Crank ETX30L AGM this season. Weight is 24 lbs and is half the price of a Braille B3121.

Check out AntiGravity's line of batteries.
I found out about them from some off road friends and they are really rugged and dependable.
And they are extremely light weight.
A couple of my customers have switched to them with great results. https://shop.antigravitybatteries.co...extreme-power/

If it's feasible, I'd suggest being able to swap back (quickly) from whatever you get to your tow vehicle battery. The battery gods and Murphy get together and take their life usually a few rounds in. :-)

These look good and definitely weight savings. How long is the charge time on these? Are they ok with alternators due to the fact that they require lithium ion chargers? Also, has anyone else heard of fires stemming from lithium ion batteries? I know a pro stock team had one a few years back.

Interesting. This is the battery I use in my PWC. Does it have enough power to run the fan and water pump for a decent amount of time?
