I did a switch from 16 volts no alternator (turbo start) to 12 volt no alternator(Diehard Platinum)in my Daytona when it was running 8.50's@159mph and it ran exactly the same. When the car comes back out again it will have an alternator as the Duster now has me spoiled.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27

I can see it now, buy battery to lighten up the car then put 40 lbs of ballast in trunk to get car to work like it did before

These are Lithium Motorcycle and ATV batteries. Same applications people were getting the dry cells from. It seems these batteries are sold under various resellers "labels". I don't know the true manufacturer. Phantom Battery Shorai Battery $169: 18 Ah, 270 CCA, L = 5.83”, W = 2.28”, H = 3.50”, 2.31 lbs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APP18L1-BS12-12V...=p2054897.l4275$199: 5.5 lbs 12V 21Ah 315CCA: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APP21L6-BS12-12V...=p2054897.l4275http://www.amazon.com/Shorai-Lithium-Batt-18Ah-LFX18A1-BS12/dp/B007GR5DXE/ref=pd_sbs_auto_1LFX36L3-BS12, $270, 5.5 pounds, 7.7 x 5.7 x 8 inches, 18AH, read review that it's listed at 520 CCA, other review tested it at 1000 CCA on load tester: http://www.amazon.com/Shorai-LFX36L3-BS1...f=pd_sbs_auto_6At the LA Roadster show a battery shop was selling these for car at around $200.

If you think that's pricey, go to Braille Batteries and check out some of the $3000+ units.
Boy, some of the Braille batteries I saw at SEMA sure looked identical to the other ones on the market.
Braille did have some with Carbon Fiber cases.
I just have this funny feeling there is a lot of re-packaged re-stickered hype with this new marketed technology. I'm not sure, but it feels like you have the same products varying 2x to 3x the retail price through different brands. Wouldn't be the first time.
