All,

Thought you would find this helpful. I put the above battery in the car to replace the stock Panasonic.

The Braille 2317 has 475 cca and was $210 from Braille. I used the AMS small batter tie down to keep in in place.

I had no problem starting the car in during a week of -15F to 0 weather after sitting for 8-10 hours in the parking lot. Multiple starts were not a problem, either (e.g. drive 2 miles to Target, parked, started again, no problem).

When your battery goes, this one is a nice replacement to save ~20 lbs.

Interested to see what capacitors do for lightweight battery options down the road. The Braille stuff is nice.
