Hey Bill I've been running the PC925MJT - Odyssey*battery for 6 years and no problems but thinking of switching to the Braille B14115C. It's pretty much the same cranking stats but half the weight. Only 11.5lbs compared to Odyssey 26lbs. Of course it's 100 bucks more

Don - I would not use the 11.5 lb - it is very limited - tried that before the 18 lb - Call me Bob 401-474-3026 STK 1051

lotsa people swear that Deka batteries are the same exact battery as a Braille and in fact East Penn mfg manufactures the Braille and Deka batteries in the same plant--- anyway the largest Braille sold is the B3121 and retails for around $230 plus shipping maybe better deals out there but that's what's posted tonite on Ebay--- DEKA ETX30L which is supposedly the same battery at least its a comparable battery is about $99 with FREE shipping from many suppliers--ya got an extra hun laying around buy 2 DEKAs and have a spare if your main battery dies--- I know what I would do---FED 387

Braille B3121 -

21lbs.
755cca
5 year warranty

DEKA ETX30L -

23lbs.
400cca
6 month to 1 year warranty

There must be some significant differences between the two.
