Battery Replacement
The car battery is starting to lose its life and it is about time for a replacement.
I have owned a drycell battery before and it failed to have enough juice to start the car (mainly because I was sold a battery not made for the s2k)
I am leary to purchase another lightweight battery out of fear that it won't work as well as an large OEM/Optima battery without issues (S2k specific or not), but I want the lighter weight.
(Added the Odyssey because PWJDM makes a nice billet mouting tray made for that specific one)
Any firsthand experience is preferred and if you select another Drycell Lightweight please indicate why it is better to go with that one than any other.
Thanks for looking

Check out braille battery they have variety of batteries to choose from and i heard good reviews about braille. I'm either goin to get the 17 or 18lbs it has the same cranks (hot and cold) as the oem battery, you can also check out the 21 lbs. Do some shopping online and you can get it little cheaper.
