Installed a new battery (SVR 80-12)
This was an EXACT fit for the CL-S. I noticed a slight diff between this one, and the stock one. Although the battery I had was about 2 years old, there was a lot of corrosion around the Pos terminal. The old battery was doing that ever since I bought the car. For $80 shipped I think I got a good deal. Its heavier by about 20lbs then stock, but I'm focusing on audio as of late.

Why not get a motorcycle battery? There was a person using it here, who had good results. It only weighed in at 14 pounds. I think his screen name was Kevin.

UPDATE!!!
OK I had a chance to ride in my car for a while, and all I can say is the BATTERY is the weak link in our system. Im running 2000watts and now with the new battery I get slight dimming when I bump hard. Before the upgrade it was MUCH worse. If any of you are getting dimming issues in your ride, upgrade the battery first.
