Any one put one of those braille light weight batterys in there cars yet. i got mine in but had to do some f-up riggin. i just need a custom mount can anyone help. would post up pics but havent taken any and dont know how to on here yet.

 

A good alternative is using something like a motorcycle battery. My buddy uses a battery out of a Harley in his CRX. Couldn't tell you off hand how much power it gives out.

 

Hmm. I put a Braille battery in my ITR. It came with everything I needed. No problems at all.

 

yeah the braille battery did come with everthing but my set up is pretty ghetto... i wanna get or make a custom mount.

 

Did you use the spacers provided with the battery? If so, it should have mounted correctly. If you are still having problems, please call our office and we can discuss some mounting options.
Or, feel free to email me personally at:
blake@brailleauto.com

Please include photos of the problem.

Thanks,

whats the ccas on this battery? i do not see it on the specs on your website. also any more info compared to stock specs would be much appreciated. thanks.
also is it basically the hawker battery?

sorry didnt know that pic was that big. it wasnt that big on the link i had it.

 

maybe a gel cell battery like the miatas use? it's prety small but has good cca.

 

The braille battery puts out 700 ccas... thats more than enough for a ep3

 

where can you buy one of these?

any potential downsides to it?

 

Im installing one of those this weekend:

Hawker G-13 at http://surplusev.com/
$60.00 with terminals. ~13lbs, can lay on its side.

Im using a 1.5"x.125" strip of aluminum and a hammer to make a custom mounting bracket... I'll post pics when its done.


Oh yeah, the downsides to the Hawker are that you cant go for extended periods of time running the accessories with the car off...which I never do. The braille is probably a similar type of battery.

 

hhmm. this is just another weight reduction. interesting.

 

OK, as promised, here is my install: http://www.dmcknight.net/batt/

 

I got my braille battery for like 100 or 120... i forgot... you could get one at the braille web site for like 170 at brailleauto.com or you can go on ebay and get one for cheep

Thanks Blake,

If anyone has trouble with that file, you might have to stick ".pdf" on the end of it to get it to open.

I have a general question about these gel batteries... Is there a need for the traditional plastic tray, like for traditional water batteries?

 

This question is for blake (ppihctyper). Is there a way that braille can make a custom battery tie down kit. I hate using the stock one or buying any other aftermarket one cause of logos and crap that they put on them. Thanks
