Anyone using the Braille lightweight batterys ?

[Anonymous]

Just thinking about these lightweight batteries, cutting some weight out of the car. The car has a 434 sbc with 14.5:1 compression, .700 lift cam. Would these lightweight batteries really start this motor? Anyone using the Braille battery, or similar lightweight battery? I was looking at the Braille 21lb. battery.
Thanks

Well, no one responded so I decided to try them anyway. I tried the 21lb battery. I took out a 60lb Optima and replaced it with the smaller battery. A savings of 39lb. In case anyone cares, I took that much out of my car and the battery works fine. I guess a test of time, and I will see if the battery holds up.
