Small Batteries

Where the hell do I find one of those small (thin) batteries for my RX-7. I've seen them so I know they exist. Any help?

I dunno what the big deal is over small batteries.&nbsp Smaller batteries have less CCA and A/h ratings.&nbsp Unless you gonna trickle charge your car, stick with the same size battery for a daily driver.&nbsp You're trying to out-guess physics...

What would be so wrong with getting two of those and wiring them in parallel? Since this thread is already on topic, where can you get those batteries?

I thought about wiring two in parallel also but they do make a larger size that's closer to the orginal (or maybe the Miata). The brand name is Odyssey but I had to use a hockey puck to make it fit with the stock hold down bracket (too short).

If you really want it, get the kit from N-tech.com
or relocate kit from M2Performance.

That (pictured) battery is made for a Motorcycle and will not power your radio with the engine off!

Try DynaBatt made by Performance Distributers. They make stuff for muscle cars, but hey--it works!
I have their 14lb battery which is very small and can be mounted in any position. I think it's pretty cool and I've had it for over a year now.
Their web site is <http://www.jimcookperformance.com/PerfDist/>
Then click on DynaBatt 12v.
They do cost $155 though.

I ended up getting the battery for an extremely good price. I can't remember where I purchased it, however, I'll post it soon. The bill is there to give you an idea on the size of the battery.
