I've used Braille and Braille-equivalent batteries in a couple of race cars with no problems. Plenty of power to turn over miata engines, both high compression NA and low compression w/ supercharger. In dedicated autocross car usage (every second or third weekend, with some lengthy gaps) they last ~3 years.
The same battery as the Braille is available much cheaper under some other names. You probably don't get the same battery post arrangement, but that stuff is cheap at a good auto parts store. I bought my last battery from http://www.BigCrank.com model BIG-ETX14; did just as well as a Braille. That part# is for the 6#, not the 11#. You probably want the 11# in anything but a full-race car. -- Glenn On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 8:56 AM, Keith Tanner <[email protected]> wrote: > I run Odyssey PC680s in two of my cars and Bill has one in his Westfield.
