I think Braile makes a 15 pound battery to replace that 50 pound OEM one.

You make a good point. I think he Costco battery is maybe half the weight of the OEM.

Not cheap though, $180. Definitely the way to go for my next one.
The 04 Boxster needs a diet, its the heaviest Boxster, more than the CaymanS.
