My Braille B2015 Battery
I bought this from a fellow member. When it came in one of the terminal was broken but I got that fixed.
After a month of usage i wanted to report the finding. I daily drive my car and have had no issues with starting the car in the mornings or after extended periods of time.
Weight savings is about 40lbs
People running at TFest should get this asap! Wish I could make it there but it seems unlikely this year.
Here are some pics

I thought this was covered before but a search didn't show anything...must have been another forum.
The Braille is a rebranded Deka EXT20L that can be had for $69.00. The carbon covered Braille is a real rip-off at $275.

There were some other forum threads years ago that I can't find but a quick Google search turned up these links.

Eurocharged Performance ML63 and TT lambo
I found the bt20 on ebay for $48 bucks!
It also seems like the two batteries were indeed not the same and rebranded as the cca and amp hours are different.

yes the 03 have the battery right in the middle and on top of the rear diff. Reason they put it there was due to the absence of a spare tire.
