Braille Battery Test

[gq4life]

I ordered
1 x Braille No-Weight Daily Use Battery $130.49 1 x Braille Racing Battery Mount Kit Aluminum $77.59 1 x Braille Positive And Negative Rubber Terminal Covers. Red And Bl $12.99 from EDO Performance
The Braille Battery weighs 11.5lbs and has 360cca and 585ca
I hooked battery to car to test start in 30F degree weather. Even after sitting in a box for 3 weeks it started car up right away no hassitation at all.
This battery is a million times better the Odysess PC680 in my oppion. Has 140 more cold crank amps then PC680 and is 4lbs lighter
They also have a carbon fiber incased version for high heat racing applications.
I got the regular no-weight battery.
Stock battery is about 32lbs this one is 11.5lbs. If you looking to save weight. this is it. It saves more weight that a carbon fiber hood.
It would prob take cf hood and trunk to equal this weight savings.
Pics of Battery


(I painted top positive plus sign so its easy to see and no one makes a mistake eventhough tops positive and negative terminals different sizes.)

It is a pretty popular battery with the Subie guys out here.

Thats just for racing when under hood temp sky rocket..
I though about it but decided save the $70 and trunk mount battery..

Im so stupid I thought about 6.6lbs one and just using hands wamers to warm battery to 80f degree when it gets below 32f LoL
210cca is like bare minimum to barely start car.. some guys with odysess said when it gets to liek 32f they can barely start car..

good find on the braille. more amps, less weight than oddysey.
my oddysey lasted about two years...mostly summer driving.

is that normal lifespan?

How did you mount the battery? did you relocate it to the trunk? can you post pictures? I've thinking about getting one for a long time and I think I finally found what I want.
