Default Pics of Braille Battery Install

I picked up an 11.5 pound Braille general use battery and wanted to show what it looks like in the engine bay. I bought a $6 set of 9 inch battery hold down J-hooks from Sears Automotive and cut them to fit. The stock J-hooks won't work with the new battery because the thread doesn't go down far enough to allow you to tighten the battery in.

I'm pretty impressed with the cold weather cranking ability of this little battery. It has started the car in the morning after several 20 degree nights.

Enjoy it ... for now.

To maximize its life, never leave your lights on or run any electrical accessories unless the car is running.

I don't see any pics. I have a knock-off braille in my car, works very good for its size.
