Braille SUPER lightweight battery

[vr4choke]

so ive been looking at dyna batts and hawkers and stuff for a while, then i came across this baby the other day.
http://www.braillebattery.com/index....teries/b2317r/#

diregarding the price, would this be a good choice for my 91 vr4 that is driven basically every day (but for VERY short distances. like 5 miles-ish)?
judging by the numbers (CCA, PCA) it looks to me like it should be fine, but im not sure. help?

also, if this one is a no-go, what about some of the other braille's on the page. like other no-weights or carbons

ok well looking at the specs it says that it should be used with another battery so i dont know about that one. One questions why r u looking at lightweight batteries? If your considering one of those i would definately do some researching.

Lightweight batterires like that are usually not recommended for daily drivers. There are better ways to save weight

[vr4choke]

thats what i thought too stealthee, like looking at dynabatts and stuff. but it actually says its good for daily drivers. thats really the only reason i was considering it

One of the guys around here has a battery like that in his 3S and has served him well for as long as he has had it.

[vr4choke]

oh really? do you know who by chance?

but do most of u guys just have regular batteries? nobody on here with a dry cell or something

Mine's lasted me as long as i've had the car...i think it's an Interstate. Not that i wouldn't want a better battery, but right now there's better places to spend the money and mine gets the job done.

That one says something about running dual batteries for a 24V system...hows that work? I would assume you'd have to replace all your electricals...

I have a regular battery. The guy I told you about is somebody I personally know here in town.

yeah i was wondering about that too. the one above it says its supposed to be the left-side positive twin. also says they can both fit in the space of one normal battery. im not sure why you'd want 24v though. unless you had a CRAZY audio system or a bunch of auxilary stuff. no idea how it would work though

You dont want 24v in a normal car. 24v would be used in something like bigger trucks, etc. You can run dual batteries in a car while still getting 12V though. Its all in how its wired.
