Does anyone have any experience with Braille batteries? I am looking at the 11 pounder for my street/ax car. Car has no radio, no heater, carbed and a Crane fireball ignition on a 2056.

I had a battery Poll about a week ago and I don't think anybody voted for Braille. From what i've heard Braille has a lot of failures

I've had a couple braille batteries. First one lasted about a year, second one lasted about 2 years.

Also be careful because they rate in "Pulse Cranking Amps" which make them seem like they have a higher rating than other batteries that rate in "Cold Cranking Amps".

They also appear to be rebranded Deka batteries, which can be found much cheaper.
