I'd like to see the weight distribution too.

RobT said:Got a lightweight battery on mine - an Odyssey one (as use in military aircraft) I think about equivalent to a red top 25 - weighs 6.1Kg - easily 10kg saving over stock - got the details at home but not with me right now. 90 quid ish from EARS.
Cranks over my engine fine (12.5:1 CR) but have not had it long enough to say if its going to be good long term - dont see why not - my car not in daily use though. A mate with a 280bhp Ford RST has had one for 2ys, a red top 20, and has had no problems at all. Mine has slightly more umpf than this - thought would need it with higher CR.
Very high tech batteries compared to lead acid ones.

EDIT: Just phoned a local company (Motorvation motorsport - There was an SCN RR day there a while ago). They will corner weigh the car for 1 hours labour = £49. Is that a fair price?
Its not gonna break the bank, but I'd of thought its a 5 minute job.... just drive onto the scales, take a reading, drive off?

BenS1 said:Rob,
Do you know which Odyssey battery you have. I'm just looking at them now and comparing them to the Red Tops. They look pretty good.
