Further research leads me to think that a 4S1P pack using the Headway 40152S cells will start the car okay, most data I’ve found points to most smaller cars taking ~200A to start which is well within the capability of the battery cells. Potentially in the winter time the car will pull more amperage than the pack is rated for (possible damage?) and I won’t be able to do much EOC without killing the pack but it should work okay, and weigh ~5lb. Relocating it to where the passenger airbag was should also afford me to remove about 4-5 feet of positive wire and all the brackets for mounting the original 42lb battery
