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.

Does that mean you're taking 5% off of the 149.99, (for the 11.5lbs)? Is it best to order on your website or thru pm, phone...?
I'm going to need one of these in the next week or two.

Ok guys, just got done installing my Braille battery in my truck. I have a 6.0 with after market cam etc.
The install was very easy and straight forward, if you can change your oil or swap out a bulb you can easily do it.
My opinons:
I love it, Truck starts right up idles fine. I triggered the Fans on high turned on the radio lights etc. and the truck still ran fine. I then started the truck with all of the accessories activated and she started like a champ.
I am very pleased with the outcome, i think the front driverside of my truck lifted up a tad bit
I didnt start the truck and check the voltage prior to the install but currently the truck is just over 14 volts running.
Sorry for the pic quality, I used my phone.
Here is a slide show!
Thanks,
Derek
