In my quest to take some weight off of our front axle I had the idea of replacing the twin 12V AGM starting batteries on our Isuzu NRR with something else. The desire is to take 80 pounds off the front axle by replacing the 120 pounds of batteries with something more like 30 pounds (figuring the battery position is so close to the front axle it is supporting about 80% of the weight).
a) What amount of amps is really needed to start this 4 cyl diesel? The current configuration is paralleling two 12V AGM or Gel batteries.
b) Is there a reliable Lithium Iron Phosphate or Lithium Manganese battery that could do the job at 25% of the weight?
Anyone changed their battery configuration to something different?
