I was just informed the battery in my car is finished.
It was on its way out when I left 5 months ago (I have access to a snap-on battery tester).

I had planned on doing a battery relocation, just not so soon. So flooded lead acid is out.
That leaves:
Optimia AMG (yellow top since that is what I plan to put in my diesel suburban next)
Lithium

I plan on relocating it under the back seats (lots of cutting and welding).

I know the optima weighs about 43lb, I handle them almost ever day at work. The bigest lithium battery weights 5lb I think.

35lb+ of weight loss and more room up front is very tempting.
