That's what I did, and it cranked and started just fine. In fact, I've still got the battery in there (with the kid's permission) and have driven a few times, just to try it out. "It" being a smaller, lighter battery that he uses because the Celica is used primarily as a track car.

The kid tells me I should get one of the ones I'm using now (ie, get one just like the one I borrowed), but I'm fearful it'll let me down at some point. My question now: What do you guys and gals use, battery-wise? I'd be interested in opinions whether on full-sized or smaller/lighter units.
