Lightweight battery options?

[E36S50]

Time for yet another new battery in the 'ol '91 NSX. Does anyone have experience with lighter options? I'd love to have a 15-20lb battery in there. The car isn't driven daily so I need something that will hold a charge for 2 weeks at a time. Anything bolt-in that works? I don't care if it costs a few dollars

Thanks

The Odyssey 680 weighs 14 lbs compared to OEM of 35 lbs. I have never had a starting problem but it is meant to be used where it is warm. Will not start the car in cold conditions. The Odyssey 925 is meant for colder climates and weighs 25 lbs, a 10 lbs saving over OEM. The batteries cost around $150-$170 each. I use the Odyssey 680 in summer and convert to OEM when it gets cold.

What do you consider 'cold' weather?

We've been talking about this in other topics for the past few days. Darn it, doesn't anybody here pay attention???

Thanks for the info and the links. Now I feel like an a$$ for not looking it up. I am going to go with the Dali Odyssey 925 kit.

Hope it ends up being reliable.

Exide 51R-84. Same weight as the Zanardi and Odyssey 925 for about 50 bucks from Kragens. See this thread: http://www.nsxprime.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/004485.html

There's a lot of good information in that battery information website that's mentioned in those other two threads.

I think the Odyssey 925 is a good choice.
