Default new light weight battery

the accent needed to go on a diet so i bought a new light weight battery. the stock one is 38lbs and the new one will weigh 11.5. that should help.
i went for the braille b14115 over the odyssey 680 because it is cheaper and is 4 lbs lighter. i'll see how it works out when it gets here and i'll post up some pics.
this is the one i got http://www.braillebattery.com/index....teries/b14115/
so whats next? is it time to lose the back seats? banana.gif

That's a fair amount of weight saved actually. Nice find. Go for light weight rims or something.

If you put helium in your tires it will make your car lighter wink.gif

Good choice. Any weight saved in an accent is a step in the right direction.
