Default LIGHTWEIGHT Braille Battery!



Hey guys, Im sure some of you have heard of Braille batteries as they have become popular in the Vette scene.
We have a full inventory of Braille products so if you have been looking into ditching that heavy battery and upgrading to a lightweight Braille model let me know.

Take a look at what they have to offer!

If you would like one shoot me a PM of the model your interested in!
We will offer free shipping to all LS1tech members.

Here you can see an install video on an STI.

Here you can see a size difference between OEM and Braille


Thanks,
Derek

So will that 15lb replacement offer the same performance as the stocker? If so we need a group purchase!
