here are a couple of pics of my new battery...I am doing some testing for BPR.
I will be interested to see how it works on my car....Randal has been using it to crank and start his high C/R big bore 4 cylinder race motor...with Link injection and lots of other electrical goodies.
check out the custom tray it sits in also....
by the way it weighs in at ............................................................11 pounds.
you can also get a glimpse of my newly painted engine compartment

And this one

Looks small. If it has the power to crank a /6 on a cold day I'm good...

WOW......wireless batteries. What will they think up next?

no need for wires JP, the motor is not in yet....and the battery was in just for a quick pic....it is sitting on my bench right now.
And I am removing the old battery cables and installing new ones with the proper eyelet ends to work with this battery.

I believe that Bill has been using one of these to start the Spec Boxster....IIRC

Looks like a Goldwing battery.

Wow, that looks cool in the custom tray!

Interestingly it looks and weighs identical to one of the batteries at http://www.brailleauto.com.

Can we get some specs, especially amp/watt hours? The braille auto battery is only around 10AHr.

I know it is stronger than that, but I don't have the specs. will post them as soon as I hear back from BPR.

Looks like the tray is already rusting.....

If youz guyz want some testing done in a AX 914 that HAS a motor, let me know

I like to crank up the stereo between runs...gotta make sure it can handle that.

thanks Demick
the tray is made of stainless, it is discolored where the two parts were welded together.


the specs are as follows 200CCA, 14 amp hrs, dimensions are 3.3" wide, 5.8 long, 5.9 high and just a tad under 11#s.

here you go....these pics show the tray polished....no more discolorations

This looks like surface rust. So I guess it's just orange reflection from all that shiny orange paint??

Demick

close up....

wow, tough crowd.

those first couple of pics were taken after dark with a flash so there may have been some orange reflection....
I took about 2 minutes to clean up with some metal polish...this is unpolished stainless that the tray is made out of.

I need one! How much? Where do I place my order?

Bill, I don't think they are quite ready for prime time...this is just a teaser to see if there is interest out there...
I am going to be doing some testing with my car to see how it works.
although if it will crank over Randal's killer 4 banger, I am sure it will work fine for me.

You could contact BillP or Randal to see what they have to say, but I think the ability to offer them to the general public is still a ways off.

This one = 5.9" tall
Optima 34 Red = 7.8" tall
Sooo, if I want to use my current metal extra hold down clamp I need a 1.9" block of high density foam for the top of the mini...or maybe a nylon strap that is adjustable....or the SS tray is included?....ONLY if POLISHED stainless steel for me
Price will be a factor. I like how the PC680 fits low and perfect in the OEM tray.

the physical size is not as important as the weight...
this battery is at least 20 pounds lighter than a normal automotive battery...probably even more than that.

Yep. Optima 34R red top weighs in at 38 lbs.

wow, even better...27+ pounds without having to cut anything
