I have had very good performance and value from Die Hard and Delco batteries
both in auto use and boat use for trolling and starting. In my opinion
lighter is not a good attribute to judge batteries for quality and
performance. My concern is that it is plate quality that is being
sacrificed which I suspect is the major mass of a battery. I could use some
up dating on that thought though.

I had the starting battery come up dead on me yesterday when I went out on
the river.

Now, the hard question. Does anybody know of a better battery that is
lighter for the capacity?
