Battery technology has advanced alot over the years however most cars still utilize the standard Lead Acid battery in one form or another. Reletively new on the scene is the Optima and similarly designed batteries. There is another battery utilized in many racing applications that is consideably smaller and often used in formula cars and perhaps aircraft as well. There is a photo of one of these in the Sales Pamphlet for the current CSX cars produced by Shelby and on the website sponsered by XK's Unlimited (
WWW.COBRASBYXKS.COM). It appears to be 4"- 5" wide, about 6" tall, and about 10"- 11" long. The photo shows it mounted behind the passenger seat.
Has anyone used one of these batteries in their Cobra. The price is considerably higher than a common lead acid battery but the benefits including weight, size, and the fact that it is sealed may be benificial. What are your experiences??????
Thanks for your information..........
