How does a lightweight battery keep the cars value higher? When it comes to battery power these lightweight batteries lack Oomph when the temps go down and do not last long. But with the car weighing less they are easier to push home.
Just for a laugh, this is what someone said after they had added a Braille battery.
"Going from the 45 lb. factory batt. in my 12 Camaro was a great idea, which I should have done right off the bat. Lighter car= more nimble, faster acceleration, less wear and tear on suspension and brakes, gas milage, there's no bad part to making a car lighter."
If you want to make your car worth more, leave some quarters in the coin rack in the ash tray.
