It is the battery Pettit uses in their relocation kit. You can purchase the battery for around 110 shipped.

I've had mine for two years and is still good. My 7 isn't a daily driver so I hook it up to a trickle charger between driving.

Whoa, wait a minute. I had a question from another forum member because my sig says 'Miniature Optima Battery' and he wanted to see what I was talking about.

Optima is here in Colorado, and I worked with a guy who used to have a job with Optima. He gave me the Red one (it is a blemish, not sure what that means, as it doesn't appear blemished) and the yellow one (it's mini and 12 volts). I think the little one was a development product that never went into production. But it's small, light gel cell that fits really nicely in my engine compartment (sideways).

I was going to use the red one at first, but the + and - are on the wrong sides, so it doesn't fit all that well.

I wasn't trying to sell Optima products, just answering a question. It was conveniant because the battery is out of the car right now.

I just weighed it. It weighs 15 lbs on my bathroom scale.

Settle down guys, it's just 12 D batteries in 6 push-up pop tubes glued together. Strawberry yogurt flavor if you really need to know.
