Default Best "Light" Battery for a Cobra

Yeah, it's been hashed out before in a more general way but the tech is always changing.
IYHO who makes the best reasonably light (25lbs or less) battery for these cars.

I don't know if it's best. But, I ran a Dynabat drycell battery in my Cobra. It's very small and light. My Cobra had an LS6 engine. It never failed to start, even after sitting all winter.

I've used the Dynabat in other builds and Hot Rods too.

No issues with Braille. But no experience with alternatives either.

Thanks for the input guys, looks like I will be going with the Deka Intimidator. My batt compartment is 10" x 7" x 6" (LxWxH) and the reviews I've read say it's a pretty good dual-purpose battery (CCA 600 + Deep Cycle) priced at $152. It does weigh more (39 lbs) but that's ok, seems to be a good fit for my application and mounting setup.
