I also keep a cellphone sized jumper in my glovebox which is less than 2lbs

I think stock battery was like 390cca and 90AH, this batter is like 520cca and 34AH, so i think it should be fine in the winter.

However i have read things about the battery deforming and or catching fire bcs of overcharging? do you know what rate the stock alternator charges at?
really interested in this weight reduction mod, but not if its potentially dangerous or a pain to maintain the batter.
