The 750 CCA yellow top, the same I use at work is quite heavy. I would go with the 43lb 750cca battery or the 53lb 830cca battery so that I could have interchangability with my diesel truck which requires 2 large batteries.
The 26lb 450cca battery would barely have the power to turn my cars engine over. Plus I have not seen those smaller 450cca batteries for sale at any store front.
Correct optima does not do lithium.
I was talking about the units found on the lithiummoto page (motorcyclecyclebattery dot com).
I have not tested my cars starter draw my self but, according to the papers that came with the TCI gear reduction mini starter I installed it draws a max of 440amps with under 400amps being normal.
What ever battery I go with, it needs to be able to handle the new engine I am building, slated to go in about 18months from now. A 6.7L with about 12:1 compression.
