Lightweight battery options

Post by philipw » Sat Aug 14, 2021 12:09 pm

Hi All,

Current battery is nearing the end of its life so decided to replace with a more lightweight option.

Do any of you have experience with Li batteries and their expected life. Looking at options from Liteblox and Deadweight.

Lightweight battery options

Is the car used frequently, or left for weeks on a trickle charge/battery conditioner?

I’ve seen a few posts on smaller/lightweight conversions…some times to gain a bit of boot space, and some times for weight loss for track work. Don’t remember either of those names though, the only ones I remember are Braille and Odyssey.

However, I’ve no direct experience of either.
