Do want you want with the battery options but 3rd round Sunday I had to drive around a guy in the lanes because his unit would not crank over. Certainly he was happy to miss the round. Go for big, lots of cranking amps, and reserve. Money well spent.

This is the minimum we run in the E/SA Camaro Todd... https://www.braillebattery.com/index...atteries/b3121

Still going strong after three seasons and it is still pretty light. We do run an alternator and charge between runs. The 17 is kind of iffy.

Thanks Rich, I have a Braille store about 1/2 mile away, I'll stop in and look into that battery. For now, I'll put the new one we have in then replace it with the Braille later.

Aside from the light weight of a Lithium Ion battery they can be fully recharged quickly like in 30 minutes or so as opposed to a lead acid or AGM battery that needs considerably more time.
In addition to their weight savings Lithium batteries also can be mounted in virtually any position, and due to their size take up very little space wherever positioned

Yes cost is a factor but the advantages I feel out weigh the disadvantages when compared to the other types of batteries you might be considering--FED 387

Now the price seems pure insanity but reading it's capabilities as far as how long it holds a charge is really unbelievable.
