What was the exact weight of it if you don't mind me asking? I believe the savings is around 22 pounds over the stocker, correct?

I think I saved about 21lbs and I drive my car everyday and night. This battery holds up fine. Never drops below 13 amps with the heater and headlights on and I have an aftermarket pulley.

I am actually making a bracket tomorrow afer I get out of class.The only reason I used so many washers was to keep the bolt from sliding through the terminal hole becausethe bolt is smaller. The washers helped compress the termianl to the battery.Without the washers, the bolt would go right through the hole and not keep the terminals connnected. I will have something put together tomorrow <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Any more info on making a bracket/ strap?

Maybe the hardware store has shorter bolts so we can avoid using so many washers?

I am hoping to put mine in tomorrow, thanks for any help!

How did you connect the cables to the battery?

Also, I can't see the photo anymore, is it just me?

Thanks, Randy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
