Would like Like to find a lighter one...but not at the prices there asking.... probably just go with a napa battery use alot at my shop... but 51lbs?... idk dammit???
If your all about running some one just make sure yiour under half a tank of fuel and there is some weight saving. If your tracking her yeah I get otherwise cant see it personally and sometimes weight in the right places works to your advantage.

I have looked at this battery but it only had like a year warranty. Now I'm one of the last to worry about a warranty but being batteries can go within a year that's a lot on money. Now if they did at least a 5 year free replacement I might go for that

But the lighter battery will be all the time not just when fuel tank is low

Not saying you can't have luck with them just seems there is a lot of bad luck

The 94R is currently listed at $820 at 24 lbs. That is why I'm looking at a less weight cheaper option
Wow, I have the original 1, $400 & 17 lbs. , 10 year warranty. No problem with mine so far after a year & half.

I bought one last year and was one of the unlucky 10% that had issues. Nick is going to hook me up though:)

That's bad & good, but for $800 I don't think I would buy it, it was hard to spend $400 for it.

Yep I have been in contact with Nick on making a lighter cheaper battery. He added another cell which uped the capacity and weight over the old design. He will be using much better cells with the new batteries. I have told him to lower the weight which would lower the cost and he would sell a lot more. His is working on a 13-15 lb battery with about 1000 CCA
I think mine is 1200 CCA.

Yes, I saw that for the NAPA one & 52lbs. , but I wanted to know how much $ is the one that @Octanewide has at 10lbs. ?... that is not a $200 battery ?
I personally will not pay for a Battery that is over $400 like I paid for my AA battery, I will just go back to the stock battery if & when it comes to that.

That Cox battery is over 400 but less now than the Arc angel.
