[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 101161, member: 161"] Rereading your post it occurred to me that I drive a 2 litre VW diesel Golf and the battery is huge compared to the lead-acid battery that Francois recommends so I'm not sure that would last long on my VW assuming it would turn it over in the first place. I think the battery on my VW is probably 70aH and around 600+ CCA. I think you may be right about the advantage of the weight saving. I could put in less fuel to achieve the same result although I usually fill it right up each time in case I decide to just keep riding. I also thought about foregoing the sweet after dinner this evening to save a little weight. Unfortunately, Gloria had stewed some of our own apples and served them up with ice-cream so I quickly forgot about the weight saving. I was saddened that my resolve was weak but cheered up again when she said there was enough apple left for the same again tomorrow.:) [/QUOTE]
