PM "rxvagon" on here. He has a similar battery but you can buy his on ebay. The brand is "odyssey." Here's a link of a bunch of them...

seems expensive though, 160 bucks average price i have found it for. but if its worth it, its worth it. thanks for the feed back guys.
its also nice to have that reduced weight. not much but its better than nothing.

I have it. It works well enough to start the car, but I would highly recommend against leaving your trunk open (trunk light), doors open (dash door light), or any of your accessories on (stereo, stuff plugged in into the charger outlet) while stopped. It has very little reserve capacity.
However, it is a good 20 lb. weight reduction vs. the stock battery. Combined with a lighter bumper beam, you drop a good 40 lbs. off the front end, something easily noticeable at the limit of traction since your front end will not plow as readily.

Braille battery reviews from i-Club members. Not all are favorable. The Braille battery was at one time my first choice for the next replacement battery but I'll probably just go with an Optima, even though it's heavier.

I don't think he is actually trolled. He just has the title. I do remember that he always gave me hard time and always argued with me even when I try to tell him that the sky was blue, haha.
