I tried the P680 in my 06 for about 2 months. It was OK until it started getting into the 40's at night. From that point on, it was not worth the concern of "will my car start in the morning"???
BTW
I got 57 lbs for the stock battery.
I have put the stock battery back in and am going to pick up the larger version or an Optima Battery. Most of them are around 30 lbs.
I did notice a but dyno difference after removing the stock battery and the spare though. Both added up to about 70 lbs of weight savings.
57-14=43lbs and the spare must weigh close to 30.

I wonder if batteries lose weight over time? I would expect that it is not like a marine battery that needs water added. Still 57 and 53 is close. Plus the spare weights 50lbs. 28.5 for the rim and the rest in rubber assumuming it is a full size spare. My '03 didn't even come with a spare at all.

The P925 weights 25lbs exactly.
