After comparing many of the "mini-batteries", he settled on the Baker 125/PB19. 19 amp/hrs, ~15 lbs, and 390 CCA's for $90.00.
It also had no problem starting it up after it sat for weeks on end.

I think this battery is actually stronger than my stock battery. The stock battery in my 89 civic was 30 lb so lost 19.

Friend of mine has an Oddysey brand battery which is about that size with 525 CCAs in his Accord....been running strong for over a year now including cold Oregon winters.

I'm sure I'll do this one of these days, but so far I have more worries about my driving than I have worries about dropping 15 pounds.
Well, unless it's talking about the driver himself dropping 15 pounds....
