I've been keeping the AG battery on the Optimate 4s 6A when the car is not being used. So far so good -- did a 260 mile round trip this weekend to Hudson Valley and she started up fine the entire trip. I don't have any concerns there.
I'll follow up with feedback on if I can tell weight difference. However, I don't expect to feel any difference at all. I also don't expect the ~30 lb difference to upset the weight balance of the car. We'll see.
To be clear, street durability is not a concern of mine. The car is rarely street driven and is primarily a track car. A weekend cruise once in a while or a small road trip like this past weekend, but otherwise she stays in the garage on the Optimate.
