I lost over 25 lbs in less than an hour...
 
And I didn't even work up a sweat... lol Had to slightly modify the positive terminal, or it would have taken abt 15 mins.

I just kept the stock tray & OEM tie-down for now. Saved 25.5 lbs.

These lithium batts are serious. I had this in my GT-R, so plenty of cranking power for the FR-S.

The Brand / model and price please?

fluffy-reindeer-slayer 12-06-2012 08:48 PM

looking into doing this on my car where did you get the battery and how much, also what modification was needed for the terminal?

No charging system changes? Just a "direct" bolt in?? If you have to charge it, is there a different charger? Curious.

I also everyone above lives in warm climate... How bout cold climate?

googled "L680 lithium battery" and came up with this:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/lpp-l680

yikes, $899.

Good Modification for the money compare to a normal battery but it's expensive when your OEM battery is brand new, maybe a good choice when you need to replace the OEM battery when she's dead.

You can lose more, maybe up to 50lbs with this model : http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc680series.htm

150$ for the PCM680

I have a Shorai Lithium battery that I used this year in my Miata for autocrossing that I'm thinking about trying in my BRZ next year. Only weighs 24 oz and cost less than $150
