My work truck has 2 batteries, it was a bit over $450 total 2 months ago
Im building a race car, for an extra $350 I can get a battery that weighs 2kg instead of 14kg.
Like... It does nothing else special other than weigh a shitload less.
When you really get into the nitty gritty with weight savings, 350 bucks for 12 kg of weight reduction seems like a total bargain.
You should post your project on !cars@lemmy.world :D
Yeah its pretty much a bargain in terms of weight reduction, but I'm also not tearing out a perfectly good $200 lead acid and then spending $550 just to save some weight while I still have repairs to do just to make the car "good" and "safe" LOL.
We are early in the project but I will take the time to post it up on here too.
