lightweight battery

Gonna replace the battery and I was curious if there was anything with enough cold cranking amps to start the car the same yet save a few pounds?

I have one and it works great so far but I have only had it for about a 2mos. I got it from www.gotbatteries.com for like $80. It is 25#'s lighter than the stock battery. They say just don't leave your radio on with the car off. So far so good for me

1. Did you verify the wieght yourself against the stock battery?

2. How much Cold Cranking Amps does that new battery offer?

3. Finally, I know you said you had it for 2 months, but how many ,miles would you say that you have placed on that battery.

Thx for any more input.
Claude
