zeroptzero you should invest in a trickle charger if you don't have one already and make sure if your car is sitting for more than a week to have that little guy charging. Also don't ever run any accessories without the car running, my radio didn't last 30 minutes when I had my Braille and that's what killed it.
My 17 lb Braille has quite a bit more capacity than your 11 lb one, hence the reason I went with the 17 lb. I never use the radio when the car isn't running, I recall you mentioning that to me in the past so I avoid that totally. Thanks

The OEM battery isn't anything particularly special as far as size and such. Its just a 51 series battery which is the same for most honda's. I think the only difference is the terminals are reversed, but there should be enough slack on the wires to go that extra couple inches.

A good electronic battery charger will de-sulphate as the first step in the charging process, I have the CTEK charger , but others do that too.

My Ctek is operating by a microprocessor, it will regulates the time and voltage. Ill borrow from a friend his 1990 motomaster with complete manual control

Your CTEK charger will de-sulphate just fine, it does it by varying the voltage and time, I think the old school chargers don't usually work as well in that regard ?.
