Braille Lightweight Batteries

Post by NonStopTuning »

Everything I have ever read from people who have used braille batteries in the REAL WORLD has always been positive.

I plan to add these batteries to our line of product in the near future, and hopefully use them in NST drift cars and our dailys.

What say ye?

Excelent choice in batteries!
You can have up to four batteries in the same space as a conventional battery. I've seen these used in many Applications. From Hydraulics and Stereos, and muti -stage lighting.
You can make life either chicken shit or chicken you make the choice.

We plan to keep at least one or two in stock at all times. I expect to receive weekly shipments of batteries from BRAILLE, as long as the community demands them.

the smaller units are for straight up minimalists who just want to crank the engine over and maintain the bare essentials. so, in case any of you enthusiasts also happen to be into big car audio, a better option for powering "ICE" (man that acronym is so gay XD) is the larger (but still lighter than oem) Braille B3121 (pictured below).

Our first shipment of 11 and 15lb batteries came in today. I knew they would be small, but I must admit I was blown away by how small they actually are in person.

They definitely look to be of very high quality and I loved the fact that each battery comes with its own tech card, showing size, specs, date on which the battery was manufactured, and CA test results. Each battery also comes with a full one year warranty.

Most of the batteries we received in our first shipment are already spoken for, so I have placed an order for a second shipment, scheduled to arrive Friday.

I would recommend the 11lb to 86 owners in Texas, or similar, weather who are not running extra lighting or stereo components. If you have much of the latter, then you may want to consider stepping up to the 15lb or larger.

Come by the NST showroom and check them out boys and girls!
