Hmm, since you're in LA where there's no such thing as winter, I think I like the L&G battery hack. Advance's U1-3 battery weighs 17lb and delivers 300CCA for $32. The 51-1 Honda Civic battery delivers 435CCA, 28lb, $82. My Subaru gets a 35-1: 500CCA, 38lb, $87.
I could save 10lb by dropping in a Civic battery, and that is tempting, but consider the environmental and cost impact of running batteries that last, say, four years instead of six. Maybe I'll try it next time I need a battery.
