or if you wanna light weight battery.
ShoraiUsa - Batteries

There a lot of different batteries out there. I've used many different batteries.
Optima Yellow and Red top (red top is not a deep cycle battery) - There stuff is old a lot of better battery out there now.
Odyssey PC925 battery - Same ^^
Kinetic/Shuriken - Good audio batteries. If you get there non audio ones those are amazing!

Now I'm on Stingers battery. This one is pretty bad ass battery.

xs power has some of the best ones.

Bought one of those Shuriken batteries as well. The graphics on the newer ones are less obnoxious, so no skeleton ninja for me, unfortunately.
It has worked great so far. However, my car is very minimalist, especially in the electrical department, so my power consumption needs are microcosmic.

What is an "audio" battery, and i think i might get another shuriken, after i fix the ground on the battery and get a bunch of good ground points + the circuit sports DIS i think my car will run amazing

The Shuriken was too good of a deal to not try it out. I got mine with the optional box and a bunch of extra terminals for every use imaginable, all together for under 100$ shipped from some electronics store.
The box is actually the main reason why I ended up going with the Shuriken. Out of all the boxes available for the various batteries, it was best suited for how I wanted to mount it.

I've ran an Optima Yellowtop on all my cars, never had any issues, ever.

Its for people that are pulling a lot of AMP/Watts for system. There good batteries if your running some really powerful fans.

Any of those batteries won't fail you. Go on ebay you should be able to find them at better prices.

You only need 2 good grounds. 4ga or bigger I use 0/1 ga
One for - Battery to Chassis and another from the Motor to Chassis. Look up the Big 3.
