I just looked this up and its the VPR-S40. At $1,660 its not bad for the weight you are losing, when compared to high priced cat back exhaust systems, which shed much less weight for the money.
Item Specifications
Model Number: VPR-S40
Nominal voltage: 12.8 volts
Cranking Amps (CA): 1270 amps
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 780 amps

I should also add, these batteries carry a 2 year warranty. If its not up to snuff, one could always argue with Voltphreaks about a replacement.
