An 063 is probably the smallest you could get off a shelf. Or some kind of skinny japanese battery. Or you can get lightweight racing ones. But quite expensive

I got a 43Ah battery that I took of my 1.8 and fitted the 63Ah from my 2.0.....

Just an off the wall thought, but how about motorcycle batteries?

[itavaltalainen]

MC battery would work (as a 'buffer' for alternator certainly) but might require more power to start - i.e. use another battery for starting.

Integra batterys are quite small?

I was thinking of something off the bigger bikes like a 1200cc which would have no problem starting a car engine.

Halfords do an 063 but its 12Kgs, their 053 is 13Kgs

But I found this clicky which claims 9KGs,
my car currently (no pun intended!) has an 075 which is 15KGs so thats a 6KG saving and my other battery will weigh in for a tenner at the scrappy.

I will look into a M/C battery as I'm happy to use a booster pack for startup cranking as its a track car.

Not being funny or nasty here but if you are looking at weight loss in this great detail have you looked at yourself?

I mean I'm the first to admit I could lose a few pounds (or stones)
