G'day again everyone
I've got a suggestion for a few of the petrol teams out there. Our car is an electric vehicle and so uses lithium batteries. I know most teams use a lead acid battery for their cranking bettery and depending on what you expect from it they typicaly range from 1-3kgs.
I've noticed that nobody i can find uses lithium cranking batteries. They might not be worth the expence for a car with a 1kg battery but as they are about 1/3 the weight they seem to become pretty good value in a weight/cost if your lead acid battery is 3kgs.
Just a thought.
