Default Check with Jet Jockey usually on B6 A4 or B6 S4
He custom made a bracket to hold an odyssey batteries 680 model. I believe it saves about 35-40lb

Default Odyssey PC680T...35+ lbs weight savings.
from an apparently reliable source...(link).

this, combined with a few other simple things, would make it easy to eliminate about 100lbs from the curb weight.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b7/msgs/40959.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b7/msgs/40959.phtml</a</li></ul>
