yes that's a good one, but this one is even better:

 

great battery for most, but mine died on me in like 6 months...with no help from the manufacturer to replace. i put back in my OEM and it has been running strong for the past year+.

 

again, failed post

 

I think that was his point

 

I (aka, "that guy" referenced above ) have had my small Braille (B14115) for exactly 2-1/2 years. In that period of time, I had no problems at all with it. It never left me stranded. However, I do always respect it's limitations. If I know that the car will not be driven for over two days (just my arbitrary limit), I put a trickle charger on the little battery. Also, if I am working inside the car for a long time (more than 5 minutes) with the doors open, causing the dome light to stay on, I will put the trickle charger on it. I consider this inconvenience as a small price to pay for the weight savings.

I do recommend this small Braille (B14115) to anyone that is willing to live within it's small reserve capacity. This means not too many days without driving the car, not listening to radio with engine off, no aftermarket accessories such as car alarms that drain the battery with the engine off, etc.

On October 2009, I replaced the battery with another identical one (B14115). For a few months prior to the replacement, I was noticing the battery not spinning the starter as fast as it normally did. Knowing that the battery was over 2 years old, I took this as an "early notice" to get it replaced.

As a personal rule that was learned the hard way, I always replace auto batteries no less than once every 2 years. I replace the battery (DieHard Gold) in my wife's car once every 12 months as preventative maintenance. In the Houston heat, batteries typically don't last much longer than 2 years. So, for the little Braille to last for 2-1/2 years is superb performance.

 

Also, I recommend that you check the Braille web site. They make many different sizes to allow you to balance weight versus capacity.
