    Does anyone have a good suggestion for a good lightweight battery that is on par with stock or better that is not a Braille or Deka ETX series?

    The stocker is heavy as crap, and I don't want to bend the stock battery tray with all the wheeling I do!

    Red has higher CCA, but I do like the deep cycle
