I will echo that, my optima is freaking awesome. When I put my car back together I forgot to plug in the load wire on the alternator. I ran the entire car, fans, and lights for nearly an hour before I even noticed the battery was getting low on juice. Freaking awesome!

I didn't notice any extra weight. I also didn't think about weighing them either. Maybe someone can chime in.

i'd much rather prefer have a really nice battery than worry about the weight... but thats just my opinion on the matter.
