battery
 
im looking to replace my old worn out battery for something new and was wondering what you guys liked

it needs to be
1. lightweight
2. not have the headlights flicker running around 650RMS watts
3. fit in my storage area where the back seat would be (i have a crx)
any opinions are appreciated
it will be relocated in space on #3 and i will be upgrading the ground wires what gauge should i use?

advance auto parts sells them maybe a few others might

My battery died recently, and a buddy of mine parting out his RSX gave me his Acura battery that was only 2 months old for $40. I love it! It is a little bit heavier though, but the same size.

which optima do you have?

and when making suggestions remember #1 priority is lightness

well do you really care about a light weight battery or do you want a nice battery that will keep it from dimming?

IMO get a good battery is alot more important than trying to save a few pounds... you wanna save a few pounds go on a diet ;) or dont fill up your washer bottle as much or pull out your stereo.
ive been using optima battery yellow tops and havent had very many problems at all. i had one go bad after about 5 years of abuse from being fully drained ALOT in my old trucks. they are not forever batteries like NONE ARE.. but for 5years and all the abuse i threw at it it held up great!

as for extension wires.. at least 4gauge but 0gauge would be better.
