I would think that GT 101 would have access or knowledge concerning this brand/battery.

I guess Your Right, sometimes the obvious isn‘t obvious enough.

BTW: still looking for my Ford ID … nowhere to be found.

When you consider the cost of carbon fiber options for new cars to the actual weight saved, it makes a lithium battery seem like a great deal. Braille offers a lithium group 25 battery that they claim will fit.

The reality is that if you are counting the weight difference between batteries you've probably already shed any unnecessary weight from other places. I'd wager that the weight of the radio and the subwoofer far exceeds the weight difference between two batteries. For the 1% that care about a few pounds, they're already done it. For the remaining 99% it's an expense that has no measurable performance gain.

I agree with that!!!

Made me think. My Cobra had two 6V batteries in series stacked end-to-end. I wonder if the 6V versions would stack in the GT. That would make the weight thing easier to deal with.

Damn right. That's the best reason for swapping to a LiFePO battery I've heard yet.
