Default Battery Question...

Well, I just got an email from my pop, and my battery in the Tib back in New Mexico is dead. He's got it replaced with one of his extras right now but I need to send him some money for a new one.

Problem is, I want something different. I've seen pictures of several of you all's cars with aftermarket batteries. I'm wanting to get something that meets these requirements...

1. Blue. lol
2. Lighter.
3. Smaller.
4. Better. (What kind of batteries are the best? I'm looking at doing a LITTLE showing of the car later, and will need the power.)

I appreciate all the help folks. If you can let me know what I'm looking for, and maybe where I could get one online and how muchie.

help

Well, I have the Exide Orbital Blue top. It satisfies three of your requirements, but it is definately heavier.

Gel cell batteries are lighter, but you may want to ask this question in the Audio section

Yeah my blue top is a fvcking beast. Its really heave, Random can vouge for that. But it's the **** and it only cost me 160.00, that's it. J/K thats way too much for something you don't NEED but if you WANT a battery like that go OPTIMA.

Well, how's this one?

It's only $119 and free shipping.

I really don't want white, Blue and Black are my colors for the tib.

They are the best in batteries.

Heh heh...

Anyways, I'm concerned with weight cause batteries are heavy mugs, and I want to go faster.
