Battery went dead in my new to me 07 Exige S. I did a few searches, what battery should i get?

This will be a street car not a track car.

Thank you

You have a lot of cars so you probably have a few battery tenders on hand. This is what we went with:
PC680 Bracket | Really Light Stuff

bolts right in, I leave the car on a tender if undriven for more than a few days, just like I did with the OEM battery.

I got the PC680 and it died within a year and the dealer in Culver City would not honor the 3 year warranty.

Ballistic Performance Evo2 16 cell Li-Ion battery. I've had it 5 months now and it's never let me down. Weighs 3 lbs. Stock battery weighs 34 lbs. I used a metal strap to tie it down using the stock threaded holes in the trunk.

Works with your typical battery tender as well.

I notice absolutely no difference since switching. If anything the car feels more nimble.

I found mine for $225 on Amazon. I don't know if that's the current price or not.

The braille 2015 works great if you don't mind using a tender. Mine came with my car, so I have no idea how old it actually is, bit it's been fine for me for the last 3 years. It's good for about 2 weeks without the tender. I've accidentally drained it 2 or 3 different times, and it continues to come back to life.

Beware the hold down brackets though. The s111 ones will not restrain the battery vertically. A big bump will peel these brackets right open. I have the crack in my clam to prove it.

I've got this one too in my daily driven Elise - never used a tender and have left it for a week or more and still started perfectly

I've had it for maybe a year??...

That is the lightest battery for the money I've seen. I just replaced the stock battery on my '07 (26lbs) with the PC680. I didn't know about this 3lb option. The nice thing about the PC680 is there are a couple ready made bracket options to just bolt in. I purchased from an Odyssey dealer along with an Odyssey approved battery maintainer.
