: Battery?

I just ordered a CAI off a buddy from the forums.. I was polishing and cleaning up my engine bay.. I just noticed that the battery in my car is freaking huge, it's definately not the stock battery.. I was wanting to buy another battery that is smaller and can do the same amount as the current one, but i was also deciding on whether or not to relocate the current battery.. What would be the best thing to do?

do both, relocate a smaller, lighter battery to the right rear.

What would you recommend on being a good battery for me?

Is that 11lb battery approved for automotive use?

from what i've read the hawker batt is similar to the more expensive dynabatt (http://www.performancedistributors.com/batteries.htm). if you read the blurb on their site it says that the cold cranking amps isn't applicable, but can be used for vehicles. IIRC, naji has the dynabatt in his ride and hasn't complained.
