Battery Options?

Whats up everyone,

Been thinking about pulling the trigger on a new lighweight battery for the FD and was wondering what everyone else runs?

Optima seems like the exemplar for the racekor guys but always down to consider others.

​​​​​​​Cheers

if your heavy on the mods and electrics I'd got optima red or yellow (yellow not lightweight but a damn good battery or odyssey is a good choice.

ive been stuck on trying to figure out what i need too.
my gut says go with the proven Optima Redtop but with advancements in technology im wondering if i should go with a lithium or solid state types.
only brand i can remember right now is Braille?

But i'll probably end up getting a redtop lol

Never have really looked at the anti gravity batteries, but at $600 USD I would stick with the Optima Red.
