Braille G30 is what I, and lots of other people, run. Lithium ion, 6-ish pounds.
Switching to a lightweight, lithium ion requires a change to your car’s charging system via OBDEleven or VCDS, AND a change in your driving habits (starting&stopping the car, sitting with the car off but the ignition on, etc will leave you stranded) because they have only a tiny reserved capacity.
If you don’t like the price point of the Braille, Deka and Fullriver also make lightweight batteries (15ish lbs I think) that are supposedly pretty good. I have no personal experience with them though.
Not directly applicable but I've had great success with Deka on the past. Can't speak to it on the R but they are good batteries.

this braille can be used as a daily? i dont ever leave my car running. it goes 22 miles each way so no short trips. nothing needs sacrificing like ac and fender cant be run at same time?
Thanks bought one. So it seems like this is all is needed in VCDS?

Excuse my ignorance but does a lighter battery really make a difference and in what way?
