Default Lightweight Battery Setup Suggestions

Hey guys, I was wondering what light weight batteries some of you guys are running. It would help if you had pictures and/or exact part numbers as well. I looked at Braille and Odyssey but still don't know what exact models would be applicable for the sc300.

The sc300 will not be a daily driver but I can start it every now and then, that won't be a problem. Car is not running massive audio electronics but is NA-T, so it will be running those supporting electronics.

Thanks for the help guys.

braille has nice lightweight batteries. as far as which model.. a battery is a battery, unless youre looking at specific cranking amps or post position.

I went with a high CCA honda civic battery, smaller and lighter. Without major expense.

Well I want one that wont require custom brackets made. Also, with the A-Hr rating, I don't know how long they will hold a charge without my car turning on everyday since it isn't my daily driver. Anyone know what the parasitic drain is on our cars? I don't want the battery to be drained after a week and then it becomes irrecoverable and can't hold a charge.

I'm interested in a lightweight battery that can hold a charge too. I sometimes go up to a week w/o driving it.
