Braille battery

Have any of you tried the lightweight Braille battery?
I installed my old K&N Typhoon (as a shortram) that I had from my '05 onto my '07 TL-S along with the P2K spacer/gaskets. The filter tucks nicely out of the main area of engine heat with the stock airbox removed, but touches the stock battery. The Braille would give me the clearance I need, plus lighten up the front end by 30 lbs.! I'd rather get some feedback before I spend $200 on a battery.
Thanks.

ACCURATEin and inaccruate have it. I remember inaccruate has some comments on it in his diet thread (although I don't remember the specifics).

It will take the car longer to start up longer meaning half a second for it to crank up... there is 1 other alternative, move the battery to the trunk if you like

there are a couple other lightweight space safers, buddy club makes one

Thanks for the help. Didn't realize there were so many choices for lightweight batteries.
