Well, it seems that in terms of losing weight for ax, it's not all or nothing.

Dedicated ax'ers regularly spend time prepping their cars for an ax or track event, swapping wheels/tires, brake pads, some even pulling the passenger seat. Why not add a battery swap to this regimen if the results warrant it?

Instead of removing the battery terminals, you could just as easily remove the cables at their other ends (still a single nut) and install a pair with terminals dedicated to the smaller battery. Even a lawn mower battery would be sufficient for the day and could then be removed and kept on a tender until needed again. It's not a lot of $ or effort, if you're dedicated enough.
