Has anybody had any luck with those? When I bought my spec car it had a lawn tractor battery in it. It worked so I left it in, used it for a short 3 weekend season, no issues.

I use an Interstate BSL1116 SLA lightweight battery that I was told is used in those jumpstart devices. It weighs about 13.5 lbs. The first one was put in in 2004 and lasted until 2013 (but I didn’t race the last 5 yrs). In Oct 2013, I replaced it with the same, although I got an OEM instead of Interstate ($51 vs $65). Dimensions are: L-180mm x W-76mm x H-167mm. The Interstate lady said it has 220 cold cranking amps, which is not usually listed on the spec sheet for these types of batteries. I’ve been very happy with the performance and value.
