    Im building a race car, for an extra $350 I can get a battery that weighs 2kg instead of 14kg.

    Like… It does nothing else special other than weigh a shitload less.

        Less AH but thats a minimal concern.

      That is a shitload , though hopefully not literally.

      Seems worthwhile in this context, though.

        Yeah, Im building a barely street legal “smiles per gallon” toy… in a 1025kg car I can save around 12kg each on the battery, spare wheel, aircond, back seat and wheels, few more on the carpet and sound deadening… few more on the flywheel. doesnt sound like much but the car will be about 6% lighter overall. Thats the low hanging fruit and the expense of losing more will be where it costs big cash or the car becomes illegal.
