Ive got a optima d31m in my trunk now but was thinking to switiching to 2 batcap 800's to try and save some weight. How comparable would 2 batcap 800s be to the D31M.

Batcap 800 is only 20ah. Maybe this is a bad idea. Im just trying to find a lighter alternative this this heavy ass d31m.

Pretend AH is like a gas ....the more you have the longer you can go, so its very important.

Makes sense. Thats what i thought just wasnt sure. I guess keeping what i have now is my best bet right now.

Just wondering, Unless your street racing why does the extra little bit of weight matter. And you should just get a kinetik or XS Power.

I can really feel the difference in the ass end of my car with everything in it. Before my next setup im adding a bit of dampener in the trunk and ill be runnning 2 subs instead of the usual 1 sub that i usually run so its already gonna be a heavier that way so i was thinking if i could shed some battery weight that would help but.

Use birch for the box.

Ive thought about it but ive never seen direct comparisons on how much lighter birch actually is.
