I need a new battery for my car has anyone used the Shuriken Light Weight Battery Kit from needswings? Was thinking that one or an optima although there a lot more but also would an optima even fit?

i have the shuriken battery. if you don't drive your car every day you need a trickle charger the shuriken has only 30 amp hrs or so and the larger battery in your car has somewhere around 70 amp hrs. the static drain will kill the little battery if you don't drive it every day or charge it. great for racing but wouldn't recommend it unless you want it for racing to drop around 25 lbs or so

I have the shuriken. What 320dreamer said is true though I've left the car for three or four days without any problems. If you drive a C32 you'll have to fabricate a tie down for it.
