I had the bright idea of buying a lightweight battery and replacing my 54lb battery with it Well, in combination with my muffler removal, and this lightweight battery, theres less weight on the rear tires and now traction has become an issue at almost any speed. Ergo, I am willing to sell it. Heres a link to where i got it > **[SHURiKEN SK-BT20 12V Car Battery Power Cell (SKBT20)](https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17907_SHURiKEN-SK-BT20.html)** > > SHURiKEN SK-BT20 • 12V High Performance AGM Power Cell Battery for Systems Up To 600 Watts • For Systems Up To 600 Watts • 20 AH • Absorbed Glass Matt Technology • Extreme Heat Resistance • Super Low ESR • 100%... ![http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/248848_1000862147228_15716842_45444581_6143199_n.jpg](http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/248848_1000862147228_15716842_45444581_6143199_n.jpg) Its a nice battery, I bought the car terminals too. Cost me $80 in the long run, about half the price of a similarly spec’d Braille battery. Im going to let it go for $75, or Ill keep it strictly for track use and hope the track prep helps my issue. ---

Does this mean you **never** let your gas tank get below half? That would have a greater affect on weight than doing this battery swap. ---
