i was readin a magazine and found this carbon fiber battery that weighs in at 6-21 lbs. just thought i share it

http://www.brailleauto.com/

 

good find but its in the wrong place ...

whats the cost

 

$250 for the "every vehicle" battery. Before shipping

 

got one of those....not the CF one tho they are nice......

 

lol im not buyin it im just sayin i found it, and thought u guys might wanna check it out

 

Wow totally cool...

 

I was gonna score a braille battery or other lightweight battery before my big race in Lone Pine in June. I already have 28 lb battery but I would love to drop 17 more pounds of dead weight in the front of the car!

 

I looked on fleabay:

Ill prolly get this one - 11.5 lbs, cf, with decent CCA - $150

 

250$!

screw that, to save 10-20 pounds...spend 1/3 that and get a good red top dry cell battery (and go to the gym for a month or too and drop 10-20 pounds...)

 

I didn't even know anything like this existed. I would have bought one a few months ago when I replaced mine. Says for "smaller displacements" are we considered smaller? Any issue with this and a UDP?

 

Yea - $250 bucks on a battery?!

How many horses would I gain with it?

 

from what i read your not really gaining hp. with this its main point their trying to make is, that its lighter then any other battery.

 

- Made in the USA!
Designed, Manufactured with Quality & Assurance
Right on the opening page. I refuse to put foreign parts in my NISSAN.

 

Larsim, ur gains will be in handling and some in looks. It will lighten it to an extent but if you collectively lighten your car by 20 lbs here and 30 lbs there, then it does make a difference.

 

Does it last longer than a "regular" battery?
