i suppose your talking about a gell cell (sealed lead)..??

between 720 g and  900 g depending on the maker...

a panasonic would be close to 720g
a Yuasa would be closer to 900g

1 gram = 0.00220462262 pounds

720g x 0.0022 = 1.584 pounds

900g x 0.0022 = 1.98 pounds

You already have one.  It came with Windows, click "Start", click "All Programs", scroll to "Accessories" and click that, it's about 2nd or 3rd down.  It has the option of being an ordinary calculator of one of those fancy ones.

or use Google which finds the conversion values.
Try typing "720g lbs" into the search bar.


Mmm, it says 1.58733 lbs.
