Default My new Battery MOD

Well, Ive decided my truck needs to lose some weight so i opted for a lightweight Braille battery!
I went with the following Braille model:
B14115 - "Street/Race" Import Race, Daily Use 11.5lb, 904 pulse cranking amps, 360cca, 15amp/hr 1yr warranty - Right Side Positive Terminal

Truck starts right up, I activate the fans radio etc. and it didnt budge! I also started the truck with all of the acc. activated and she cranked right up!
I am happy with the install! It took off some weight off the front of the truck.


Here is a slide show of the install:




Sorry for the quality of the pics, I used my phone!

Later,
Derek

Yep, just what i wanted! I dont need a damn lead weight on the front of my truck!

I like the way it looks, im going to be asked all sorts of questions when i pop the hood now.
Next time I go to the track and run some good times and someone walks up to me and ask what i got im popping the hood and pointing to the battery LMAO

I might try one of those in my car. Always looking for ways to drop weight especially from the front.
