    Are you looking for a Lightweight battery, or just a replacement.

    Braille makes good lightweight batteries. Their battery weighs 11.5 lbs, I believe the stock battery weighs about 25 lbs or more.

    I have also heard good things about OPTIMA ULTRA-HEAVY-DUTY BATTERIES.

    Yeah the Optima redtops are good for heavyduty battery use. Or get a Braille to reduce some of that weight off your frontend.

    Thanks Trey.

    I knew that there was one that was the Braille's size, but cheaper.
    Time to pick one of those bad boys up.

    Kinetic batteries can be smaller but they have supposedly the best batteries on the mkt right now. Saw them at the spring break nationals.
