Light weight batteries
 
Has anyone seen or used the light weight batteries that Braille makes? I think another one is the Eagle Picher and Odyssey.
Any thoughts?

Thanks
Sean

I use the Odyssey 680 w/ the metal jacket and love it.

I havent seen the Braille, but I know that Altronics has released the 26 lb version of the best 16 volt battery I know of. It has a 12 and a 16 volt hot post.

I hope they will replace that win light , on my side ! It looks like yours still works ?!

I have the heavier one . It works great. I have one complaint, it's heavy. About 12 lbs more than the Optima I took out.

I hope they will replace that win light , on my side ! It looks like yours still works ?!

Kenny, thanks, i checked it out, i just wonder how it will work, beings some of the specs are a lot less! I'd like to try one but it's expensive just to try!

Hey woodro dad has a (i think this is the right name) Datta Batta? it's only 13 lbs and it works GOOD! I think dad gave like $150.oo for it but the damn thing works! He can drive his "pure stock" car to the local track (6 miles one way) with it no trouble & that is coming home in the dark! The thing is about the size of a Webster's dictionary! (lol)

Greg: I believe you're thinking of the Dyna-Bat by Performance Distributors. It's a 12-volt if I recall. And they are in Memphis, Tn. Their web site is: www.performancedistributors.com

GO TO INTERSTATE BATTERY STORE AND LOOK AT THE ODDESTY BATTERIES. THEY HAVE THEM ABOUT THE SAME WEIGHT AS THE DYNBATTS BUT A LOT CHEAPER AND NO FREIGHT. I HAVE TRIED BOTH AND THEY SEAM OK. 13 TO 16 LBS.
