So who all are running Braille No Weight Battery
Since my battery is on the way out, I wanted to replace it with something light. I daily drive my car so I was wondering if the Braille B3121 will do the job.
Any input is welcome.

I have them in stock but I wouldn't recommend it as a battery that is used daily. It is a great option for the track but it has a very low reserve capacity. If you want one I can get one out to you within 24 hours. 3121 and 2015 is in stock. We are in the middle of making a Mercedes Benz specific mounting kit for the 2015 that will easily install using all the factory Mercedes Benz mounts.

What he said... I haven't heard many good things about these in a street car. If you want to lighten up the battery and still be able to crank the car reliably I'd suggest getting an Optima.

It's about half the weight. And I've been using them for years. I have one in my streetrod right now. It's a tiny 925 and it starts a high compression 327 NO PROBLEM. And I have cooling fans this is runs sometimes for as long as 15
minutes after I shut the car off.
I posted a couple pics of it on this thread https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...preciated.html

Optima Batteries
Another option is the Optima Batteries.
I have the red top and have been very satisfied with them now for years. Aga just another option. You might have to call them for your application since it's not listed.
