11 lbs Battery Install

Install this 3 weeks ago and it has not been started in 5 days. Turned right over today. I will push it to 2 weeks if I can.

Take it to an auto zone, they check batteries and charge them up for free, although not sure if this battery is different than the regular car batteries

no no P's... he means that since it's a small battery with concern of losing its charge it's impressive that even though it wasn't started in 5 days that it STILL started up. Hmmm makes me think of maybe wanting one for weight savings in the future.

Looks like I've had mine 1 year and 10 months. Zero issues

not bad for $59. It's sat a lot. All last winter on a trickle charger and winter before it'd do days also without starting.

2013 sport build

Last summer I travelled for work a lot, and usually left it on trickle charger. Around 5-6 days I would have issues if not left on charger, but besides that, it works great!

Braille, nope, $180?

Same as Deka that you can get anywhere for about $60.

Ok, so that clip missing is intentional. LOL I thought I lost mine.. Never mind..

Old thread but battery mount update the old mount was a piece of packing material. This is foam core project board. super light and strong.

I ran a lightweight battery for a couple years in my 350Z. Biggest lesson I learned was ALWAYS double check to make sure you didn't leave a dome light on or something stupid. That, or have one of those mobile power packs to jump your car, just in case.

synolimit · 10-16-2015, 11:05 PM

Just a fyi, 2 years, no issues here with mine.

tonythetiger · 10-17-2015, 10:51 AM
