i ditched my dry cell 16lbs battery for a 4 lbs battery. was great. however, now that the temps are dropping the 4lbs battery does not have enough CCA's to turn the ski over, even with a full charge. It's great all summer though.
i never carry a fire extinguisher.

I thought you were going to say your hood fell off and sunk.
No hood, that's an ez way to keep weight down.

5lb Auto craft.... Got mine from advanced Auto parts/
The only time it will let you down is if you suck in too much water. :Eyecrazy:
Good to see others taking advantage of this good easy CHEAP mod!

you'd have to look at the mfg specs to see what the CCA's are. On my 16 lbs Dekka drycell the CCA's are like 300 amps, on my 4 LBS ES the CCA's are only 45.

I would think 70cca is a bit light, especially when cold.

yup... again, just like my ES4LB-S, great all summer, but in the fall you'll want to put the higher CCA batter back in.

I know it ain't much but why didn't you move that battery all the way to the back of the battery tray ?
I love them little things, since it doesn't get cold here for quite some time mine is still cranking the motor right over.
One of the best mods out there. :cheer:
