I use a Shorai Li-ion unit. 210 CCA, 14Ah, weight is about .6 pounds. Mine is the A2 frame model, it's much smaller and is better specs than a factory battery. I recommend their charger too, but you may never need it as the battery has an internal cut-off before fully discharging. They claim it can be stay in a stored position for up to 12 months with no trickle charge and still retain 50% of its charge.

You may want to check that claim. Several other brands of Lithium battery do have that undercharge protection feature. But last I checked, Shorai does not.
