Default Battery

Hi Guys
I have a 430sc I been using a Qdyessy battery for years 49.9 lbs.
I just installed Lithium Battery from EarthX weight 7.7 lbs
I took 42.2 lbs from the front of my car and did nothing but change the battery.
I was paying 275 for the battery. The Lithium Battery are 725 so 275 from 725 = 450
For 450 I removed 42.2 lbs from the front of my car. very cheap for 450.
Try to remove 42.2 lbs from your car.
Using this for 3 months now very happy

I did the Braille 21lb battery, fit good had to move the ground and put a 1" spacer under the battery and reused the stock hold down with 2 small swatches of rubber under the hold down (to prevent deformation when tightening the hold down.

I know you guys are into speed. my friends 430sc just ran a 5.1 0-60 at the track and in 13's 1/4 stock no slicks coming soon too.
That's why i'm tell you guys about the LITHIUM battery 7.7 lbs. thats his next thing. mine works great. I see him 4.9 or better 0-60 with the LITHIUM battery EARTHX FUTURE OF BATTERYS

Maybe with the slicks it will 0-60 that quickly, but even then I am not convinced. That car will not pick up two tenths by losing 42 lbs. It in all probability would not pick up two tenths in the quarter, much less 60 ft.
