i have been looking in to getting a new battery for my car and i have found what seams to be one of the best light weight batterys out there its a braille b14115 it weights only 5kgs

here read for your self

i have contacted the supplier in america and the the best price i could get is $250 australian including delivery with a minimum of 5 batterys if it goes over 5 it will be another $10 of the price so if we can get six batterys then the price will be $240 deliverd , delivery will take about 2-3 weeks from the date i order them.

The CCA

is rather low @360cca for that battery. There is no such thing as a battery with to much power, 500cca is a powerfull battery, and is less affected by tempture change, starter motors will last longer and work better so will the accessaries. Batteries with a cca off 350 are approaching the minimum off what is required, imo.

 

360aa is way 2 wussy. you need atleast 500cca. im running 720cca

 

i have an optima yellow top dry cell, cost $420, and that thing absolutely cranks, only started the car once as it is still in the panelbeaters, but just touched the key and it started, brilliant, you can really notice the difference between that and a niormal wet cell batery, well worth the money if running a bigger stereo, they have a 3 year replacement warranty as well, i think

 

mine is a optima yellow top.. mine cost 330 brand new though.. you got stung matey ouch.. but yeh definately the best battery i have ever had

 

i get stung with everything, my car is still at the panelbeaters, 3 1/2 months, spewing

This might be another option

 

I just bought a battery a few weeks ago, 670CCA. It's a monster

 

I bought a new battery but it is probably not that good. I flattened it today using a carputer (laptop with a converter 12v to 15v) and a 7" touch screen. Used it for about 1 hour...

 

i have some pics of my new battery , the impruvment was reallllly good my car excelarates cleaner with a slight increase in power but the biggest impruvment was in the handeling the strearing is so much lighter and the car feels more precise when going around corners it realy has tranformed my car and im very happy with it every cent was worth it , and to everyone that baged the crap out of the battery

 

so you reckon a car battery is a performance mod and i must ask,what the hell is holding the battery in place ???

 

its so light the only thing holding the battery is the pos & neg cables oh and i forgot a small bouble sided sticky tape underneath :biggrin:

 

I have a feeling that wouldn't be legal (well, i know you wouldn't be allowed on a racetrack like that so i'd guess it wouldn't be roadworthy) but do you think that would hold in a crash? you've got fuel lines right infront of the battery, if the battery comes loose in a crash and hits/breaks fuel lines and sparks against the plenum or body....
if you're worried about saving weight maybe make up something out of aluminium that can secure the battery.

 

Yeah i will get around to it soon but for now its stable as it is

 

first time ive heard

of a battery increasing handling and performance, definately defectable like that though.

 

i think the better thing would be to locate that battery in a properly sealed box in the boot.. i definatly would tie the thing down better.. if you take a cornor to fast bam... goneskies

plus at least 15 kwrw, i reckon .....!!!!

... and yep, that battery is ready to cause havoc under hard breaking, cornering, whatever ...

 

Crikey, I would have swore that was a motor bike battery lol
