JasonR24 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 What are the benefits of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Its about 60lbs lighter than the stock battery, and will last a lot longer. Also when it hits a set voltage (11.9) the battery shuts down and stays like that till its armed by hitting the green button when it turns back on enabling the car to start. I got it for the weight loss primarily, that and the spare wheel saves me 100lbs in weight, seats and Ti exhaust is around another 120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Jesus Christ. I only weighed my own battery yesterday when I took it out of the car for a charge, over 36lb (16.5kg)! Planning on moving it into the cabin now, probably where the rear seat base was, passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Nope the battery in the 996 is the same size etc as my Range rover one which looks like a truck battery a normal lead acid weighs between 55 and 60lbs a HD is a few lbs extra.

dude Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Ah ok, nice :thumbs. On a weight loss program for the car then Anymore things you are going to lighten? Ti exhaust has lost over 50lbs, rear wiper 6lbs, seat belts and rear seats etc (but put the cage in so prob =those) seats are electric and like 85lbs each my new carbon ones are 6kg each, battery and remove spare wheel and tools (45lbs), clutch actuator and one piece flywheel is another 50-60lbs, stereo a couple of lbs changed to double din, prob go Carbon bonnet and maybe engine cover. So hopefully 275-300lbs gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
