Going to a Lithium Battery for weight savings

[yesitsakia]

Has anyone considered swapping out the lead acid battery for a lithium battery to save weight?

It?s on my todos once I start the audio system.. infact, I think I can install 2 and save space/weight

Im really interested in this too, we just need to find the lightest battery that can be reliable for daily use.

I checked the specs of the OEM battery,

90Ah (20HR) CCA 740A
RC 170min (SAE/EN)

I believe the battery is in the trunk for weight distribution reasons. If you reduce the battery weight, you'll shift more weight toward the front, and I think the GTs are already something like 52/48. I'm sure the difference won't actually be that significant, but it does make me curious if you're simply trying to improve straight-line performance, or if you'd be concerned about handling too.

Anyone find a decent lightweight replacement?
