Light weight battery

Due to engine bay changes I'm going ti be a little short on space, at the moment I run just a normal battery, what small format batteries do you guys run, it needs to be able to start a 2.0 zetec well.

In used a red top 25 with my zetec, right through the build and on the road no problems to report.

I've got one of Russ Bost's LiON batteries, 1.4 kg and it starts a 3.2l M3 very easily and keeps a full charge over winter, very pleased with it. You could definitely go smaller for a 2l zetec.

Nope, tried to order a LIPO20A and it wouldn't take the 5% discount. Since found the battery elsewhere.
