The battery cable alone will weigh more than dropping in an ATX30 lithium battery.

I'm using an AXT20 and have been daily driving it with no issues (I live in a very warm climate so no idea about cold weather issues). If I were to do it again I would opt for the ATX30, gets sketchy if you want to listen to music or something with the engine off for more than 20 mins. The restart feature is awesome but you have to reprogram everything in your radio when this happens.

The battery is 4lbs on my bathroom scale and the bracket I made was another 1.5lbs.

Overall weight wouldn't increase by much but 35-40lbs in the rear is a very nice shift in weight. I am currently speaking with PHR and they have an existing battery relo kit that might work with group 35 batteries. It includes cables, vent tube and battery box. Cheaper to replace an AGM battery vs an antigravity battery ($200 vs $800 group 35). If you're not looking to keep the spare tire this might be something to consider. Looking to see if it could fit under the trunk carpet as well.
