This is the type of info we are looking for and that I can forward up to our engineers.
Our 6500 is $289.00 and we can stand up to the life cycle, but getting that power out of a battery that size is difficult. We try to redesign the make up of our batteries all the time and find new designs to get greater power, but haven't found a way to get that much power out of it. Our D3100 would be around 1150CCA, but it is a much bigger battery and the cost is higher also. The bad thing is that lead prices keep going up, which also increases the materials needed to make the batteries.
To be honest I think before to long we will all be using lithium batteries and the days of a 10+lbs battery will over with, but we aren't there yet.
