Which lightweight battery?

Well, after 4 years my battery is starting to work improperly so i thought that it would be a good idea to replace it with a light weight one considering that i seldom use the car's audio system and lights. I also track my car often enough to justify the small sacrificies that this kind of battery needs you to do.

The problem is, which one to buy?
I don't need a no-weight battery, i would like it to be less than 22pounds or so and capable of starting the car after a week of absolutely no use.

Any suggestions? I know that Braille makes this kind of battery but any other quality product is welcome. A model number would be even further appreciated

Thank you!

Yep, i would like to receive a little help about the model too
It should keep the charge for at least 7-10 days.

Thank you anyway!

^^if u want something for street use reliability, try odyssey pc925mjt. 25lbs, modify new b+ terminal wires and tap the stock tie downs to sit the battery lower. and punch holes on the side covers for the tie down protrusions...

just a recommendation...
