Welp, ok, so, my 2015 GT is a garage queen. As of today, it has just under 8,000 miles on it. Despite the trickle charger/maintainer, the battery has finally given up the ghost. Electronics will power just fine, but the battery can't turn the engine anymore.
I found some threads, though they seemed to be more focused on the GT350, and seem to date back a few years, about people using lithium batteries from Antigravity + Morris adapter. I really do like the idea of lightweight batteries, but, realize that I also need an adapter, and a different type of charger/maintainer.
When it comes to the lightweights, is that basically the go-to option, or are there others.
(And, as I'm typing this, I'm asking myself if I want to spend $450+ above and beyond the cost of a standard lead-acid 590CCA battery to save approximately 20 pounds on a car that I just cruise with...)
Suggestions or any other thoughts?
