Editor and Lightweight battery

I am looking at getting a lightweight battery but concerned with frying PCM if the battery goes down.

who uses a lightweight battery and does programming?

Why not just keep a regular one handy while tuning?

I would err on the side of caution and not chance loosing power to the PCM.

???? you can kill your pcm if you let the battery run down? my car sits for a while sometimes with the battery disco. didn't know this was bad?

No only while running LT1 edit when you have a direct connection with the PCM.
