you can mount this battery for under 15bucks just like the guy with the Vette did above.
I like the mount, its a nice product but I used it to give you guys a look at the products.
5% off is the most Braille will allow on their products, the only other thing we can do is offer free shipping which we have done!
Thanks guys,
Derek

I believe two small holes would have to be drilled for the mounting bracket,
If you ever swapped back to a larger battery the holes would be covered by it.
Thanks,

How long a reserve does the 11.5 have in the real world(01 H/C C5)? I am just wooried if I leave the trunk or door open too long the battery will not start the car. I had trouble with a 24lb Rock racing battery with a lot more power than these last year, but if you are all getting along fine maybe I can consider the braille.

Rough calculation.100# weight savings equals .010 in the quarter.
.010 in the quarter equals 10 HP.
Take care.

That's a pretty neat battery and losing 20 lbs is a good thing. This may be a stupid question but is there some equation that tells you the effective RWHP gain you get from weight reduction or is RWHP calculated independent of what you car weighs? It would appear that if you have less weight to push, your car should be more efficient or easier to move?? I realize this has nothing to do with crank horsepower.
I'm going to think about buying one of these. How long does the factory battery typically last? I have had my car 2 years 2 months.

That weight on the nose of the car when removed makes the suspension transfer weight alot better.
Thats why guys relocate the battery to the rear.
However this may not be the best option for a weekend warrior so guys prefer using a light battery in its place.

This sounds great . I have the optma yellow top now with about 4 years of service on my 00 C5. Anyone have a weight on that battery. How fast to ship if I order today??
