I have a Braille 17# battery in my TR3 with mini alternator. It's 5 years old now and every time I hook up a trickle charger after a period of non-use it quickly goes green. 
It might be time to change it out just because of it's age. 
I purchased the battery from Summit Racing and if I remember correctly, it was around $150.

Thinking about replacing my battery with a lightweight sealed battery. 

Considering Varley Red Top. Any others I should look at? Pros and cons? Minimum CCA?

The Braille 17 is rated at 475 CCA at zero degrees and around 650 at 32.  I d=
on't know about minimum requirements, but I'd say this is plenty.

I have had good luck with the East Penn / Deka sealed AGM batteries.  We
use the ETX-20L Powersports Battery in both the race spit and in my modern
MINI autoxer. (both do have alternators) This is a 15 lbs battery rated at
310 CCA at 0 deg F.   It seems to have plenty of juice to do the job.

 It's available at most local parts store for less than $100, might be
branded as "autocraft" or whatever the store brand is.  As others have
mentioned, don't let it fully discharge and keep it on an automatic battery
charger/maintainer during the off season.
