Lithium ion battery for the Hellcat

Maybe just keep fewer volts in the stock battery?

Not that I know how much a volt weighs.

Volts don't weigh anything! You know that!!!! The AMP-HRS weigh a ton!!!!

I am not after the quickest ET. I have not even drag raced it.

Absolutely understood. We are looking at very different objectives!

That’s funny. For me, the rear end now becomes balanced and lighter. Shit I have a giant BMR front sway bar holding it together. For me either those suckers are gripping on the course or I am modulating my right foot. But saying my grip does not change, the -30 lbs allows quicker acceleration and as important easier braking.

Yeah, my biggest concern it breaking from 200+. which the RE does admirably! But that is not good enough for the "rules". I have been warned twice to get a chute, which is highly unlikely.

Good thread to keep going. Since my dad bought a T/A he wants it faster. Looking through here on batteries and going on amazon and it looks like a lot more options and cheaper prices. Could barely get one under $400 a few years ago

@Taxinator posted the battery he bought and @catdad @DGatzby and is still under $270 Stock demensions and weighs 20 lbs. The Stock battery is 44 lbs.

Purchased mine July 2024 and it’s been perfect…starts quicker than the stock battery when new.
