Braille Batteries

We run two 11.5# in the Cuda and they last about three years. They work very well.

We tried a ProLite Lithium battery a year ago in the COPO Super Stocker. 120 amp alternator regulated to 18 V max as we where told by ProLite. Charged it to green one night before loading, pulled out the next day and it was stone dead. Needed a $350 rebuild, used it for 3 outings and had it in the car for maybe 2 months. Pretty pissed off since we asked a lot of questions about it before buying. Took it out and sold it. Maybe it was a bad one, maybe not, but either way it ended up costing me a lot of time and money.

I'm on my third yr. with one in a EFI mustang, stock alternator. Works like a champ. I put it on a trickle charger at home every once in a while. For running the electric radiator fan between rounds I use a separate deep cycle battery so I don't need to charge the braille battery between rounds. It's in a pure stock car so it has oem water pump.

You will like the Braille Battery, standard or lithium. Email me and I can give you a direct contact at Braille to discuss your needs and take your order.

Brian - What model # are you using in your Mustang?

Thanks Brian - The same one that is in the Camaro. Just sitting here thinking about it I really should just swap that one out to whichever car I plan to run on any weekend. Don't know of any scenario where both cars would go to the track at the same time since we don't have the means to transport more than one. I figure the worst thing for a battery is sitting idle, tender or not.

Makes sense, probably no need to have 2 of everything when having 2 race cars, unless of course you have unlimited funds. How does the braille do between rounds running a water pump and fan ?
