 What's up Mopar fam? I hope everybody's having a blessed day out there today as you can see we're working on frostbite We have a brand new awesome modification to install and guys I'm super excited. It's gonna save us a tremendous amount of weight and It's gonna be a big benefit to the truck. We're ditching this old factory heavy battery and we're getting a New battery and literally as you can see this thing's on my pinky guys This thing is the weight of a feather. So stay tuned We're gonna weigh both batteries and this is something that I know all my drag race guys out there is gonna love Let's get it is we're gonna get this old battery out. Got my 10 millimeter here I've already removed the bottom clamp that holds the battery. So we're gonna loosen these terminals real quick bust these things off and You guys get to watch me literally strain to get this Stupid heavy battery out and keep in mind This battery is actually about two inches shorter than the factory battery that goes in the RAM trucks As I've already tried to reduce it a long time ago. So this battery is actually a little lighter than the stock battery Yeah, I'm not putting that on my pinky guys That's heavy. Alright, so we're gonna go back to the back of the truck Where I have my scale and we're gonna go find out how heavy this battery is, but it is stupid All right, so as you can see on the tailgate here a frostbite. We have my scale. This is a very accurate scale I use it to weigh my nitrous bottles at work when I refill them. So we're gonna get the factory Well, it's not actually the factory battery. This one's actually a little shorter So it does weigh a little less than the actual standard RAM factory battery But anyway, we're gonna see what it weighs We got the scale on as you can see you come over here. We got zero pounds on the scale We're gonna put this big old heavy pig on the scale 4556 this battery weighs actually 45 pounds 57 so it's 45 57 That's heavy battery guys not gonna lie. Alright, so you see what the battery weighs We got 45 57 with my with my old battery Let's take it off Let's get out the new excess power battery. This is a lithium battery and literally There's my pinky my pinky guys. I Mean these things that is that is absolutely insane Let's see what it weighs 7.41 Not even eight pounds. It is seven point four one pounds For the same size battery This is lithium battery These batteries are a thousand Cranking amps which is more than enough to start a v8 and the model battery that we're using This is the excess power battery. This is xv 3400 r that is the part number for this battery the link will be in the description So we're gonna do kind of a size comparison here with the old battery and you can see If my camera guy comes up here, you can see it's literally the exact same size Granted we have this one on the scale so it's sitting up higher, but it's the same Length same width same height so it fits in the battery tray. Everything goes just as fine We have the positive over here positive over here negative and negative So this is a drop-in battery for your ram truck specifically for the drag race guys and again Seven point four two pounds Now I'm not gonna lie. These batteries are a little expensive. They're a little I think they're just under 600 bucks but Why do a battery? Relocation in the bed, you know, that's gonna cost you over a couple hundred dollars in materials and time to do it And then you got to worry about all that wiring and in a possible fire and all of that mess You buy literally a seven pound battery Seven pound battery. It drops in the factory location and you shed literally over 40 pretty much almost 40 pounds Just by replacing the battery and it goes right in the factory location. So yeah, that is why I went this route guys I was gonna do a battery relocation Put the factory battery in the back of the bed You know, I figured that might help with traction and it gets a lot of weight off the front Honestly, you know, we really don't need the weight in the bed. The truck hooks up good enough And we're not really having any issues with that. So why keep all that weight? I figured the best thing to do is just ditch this thing literally and It made more sense to buy the excess power battery That's seven pounds Fits right in the location Like a glove don't have to change anything. Don't have to run any special wires. Don't have to do anything But literally undo some cables and hook up the new battery Now this is a lithium battery, but it does work on your factory charging system and your factory alternator So it does work Now because it's lithium there is a little bit of extra care You have to go into charging and maintaining these batteries and I'm gonna show you one thing we did invest in This is the excess power lithium charger. This is their smaller one. I got the eight amp one. This is a little over a hundred bucks But this is specifically for charging lithium batteries and it's a plug-and-play deal You hook the battery up you plug in the charger. It does everything for you it maintains it it Keeps it up to charge if it senses the voltage is dropped it kicks on the charger It keeps it, you know topped out where it needs to be So it takes all of the guessing and worrying out of it if your truck's gonna sit for a while This thing will take care of the battery and maintain it for you without having to worry So that is one extra thing you have to do You can't just you know throw these on a standard charger you need to get a lithium charger But with all that said here is the battery up close Like I said, this is the XB 3400 R 12 volt lithium thousand cranking amps literally, I mean It is insane this thing feels like just a piece of plastic or like a prop for a movie. I mean it is it's just It's crazy. It's insane how like that thing is I have carried this thing around to my work To some of my neighbors and literally prank them I was like look check out this battery and they just freak out because they think it's gonna be heavy when I throw it to them But it is nuts how like that battery is so again link will be in the description if you're interested in getting one If you're drag racing guys Yes, like I said that battery is kind of expensive, but it's a hard bargain to beat to drop that much weight and It's a bolt-on fits right where the old part used to it's just hard to beat that You're gonna save a tremendous amount of weight and it's weight that's in the front end that needs to go You know when you're taking weight out you want to try to get as much weight out of the front of it as you can And that is gonna be a huge plus for us getting getting this battery installed and getting some weight off the front of this truck So let's go get it installed now that I got this insanely light battery on my pinky finger here We're gonna drop it into the hole. Oh, yeah Fits in there like it should All right, so we're gonna hook up the battery real quick. I've got the positive side Get our little 10 millimeter wrench that we somehow haven't lost yet nice and tight Get our ground on all right, we got our battery installed We're gonna do a cold start Although it's about 93 degrees outside here and the humidity is terrible But we're gonna do a cold warm start should we call it on the new battery? This is the lithium battery thousand cranking amps from excess power. So let's see how it cranks up And you guys get to hear the new exhaust from outside for the first time So stay tuned. We're gonna have a video of a lot of exhaust sounds with the new carnage mufflers So here we go. I'm gonna tell you right now that thing started right up a lot quicker than it used to with the old Battery I can tell you that for sure not making that up. Although. I'm pretty sure my old battery was on its way out because as you guys know Not long ago. We finally figured out a draw that I had on the truck and it kept killing that battery So it was time for a new battery anyways, but that lithium battery I'm telling you you turned it over and it literally almost sounds like the starters about to snatch the motor off I'm happy with it for sure. It starts up the truck perfectly We just dropped pretty much about 40 pounds of weight in the front So heck, yeah, I'm stoked. I'm ready to hit the track and see if that weight drop did us any good Maybe we gain a tenth. I don't know we'll see we should pop the tire off the ground a little bit higher now with a lot less weight on the front left tire So kind of curious to see how the pictures and the video footage comes out with that now that we pretty much lost about 40 Pounds almost on that front left tire. So I think the wheelies are gonna look a little bit better So let's see what happens again guys if you're interested in this battery Especially the drag race guys out there. This is almost a no-brainer modification if you're drag racing Man, honestly, I don't know why I put it off this long, but this is like the only way to go So look into it read up on these batteries Again, I'm stoked the link to the charger and the battery will be in the video description below So stay tuned lots of new exhaust videos coming up. We'll see you guys on the next one
