[DeTomaso] Minimum Battery Size

[Art Stephens]

    Here are two different quotes by the same guy from the PI Forum.  "I've used a Dyna-Batt for almost 4 years now and have never had a problem.  It's no different than any other battery to me.  I should replace it this winter because of it's age.  I will be looking at another lightweight battery I've seen guys using by a company called Braille.  They are lighter and smaller still.  For the price,  I can't think of a better way to pull weight out of the car."
     "The Dyna-Batt has never let me down and I have used it to death.  I've run it down before with Lucas shorts and it's always come back.  I took the battery in my Pantera out of an old SVO Mustang that I sold and in the SVO I ran a fancy stereo and lights and all that.  The car get's put away when salt is on the ground but the Pantera comes out when the pavement is clean.  I would definitely buy another or maybe the Braille battery which is even lighter still.  By using this battery you are pulling 30 or maybe 40 lbs.  out of the front of the car.  What do the Optima or Odysseys weigh?  Maybe 40 or more lbs.?  It's a No Brainer as far as I'm concerned."  
     This gentleman apparently lives in Illinois.  Pretty convincing stuff,
