the total weight saving effect on car performance is so small .
add to that the known problems of ALL race type batteries in a road car situation and extra cost
car makers would fit them if there was a real advantage to economy ,and the volume they could buy them in would make the price very little diffeent for them to a std battery .
I posted in the track car section as it's not for a road car hence why i want something that will hold a charge and not go flat at the drop of a hat.
