I have run the dry cell ones on a dedicated track BMW with 3 litre 6 pot but not sure it would work in a road car?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

has anyone gone with sth like the Braille or the Odyssey for their GT3s? the OEM battery is a whopper and weighs like 20 Kgs plus. I have run the dry cell ones on a dedicated track BMW with 3 litre 6 pot but not sure it would work in a road car? I managed to get the E30 320 IS with the 3 litre from the 36 M3 down to 1075 KGs with lots of LWT parts so weight was a killer on the track car. My GT3 is not a daily so its sits covered in garage and hooked up to the CTEK trickle charger so I can keep the charge. just wondering if you had to drive at night with lights on it might fail? would certainly take a lot of unsprung high up weight down. just wondering if anyone has done it or false economy. I could do with losing 10Kgs myself tbh ;-)
