Yeah...I have friends that have gone this route. There is no free lunch when it comes to saving on size or weight with a battery. It just won't have the capacity you need day to day, under all weather conditions. In the winter, if you keep the car garaged and on a battery tender you might get away with it. Batteries degrade over time, and when you have less to start with, it'll get marginal in a shorter amount of time. Plan on replacing every 2 years or less.

There's a reason these are sized for a Lawn tractor......cause that's what they're for...
