I've read about a couple of them a long time ago, but I can't find the posts or numbers for the batteries.
Which batteries are smaller in dimension and can be used with our cars? Any negative effects of using a smaller battery?
I just installed a Braille
B2015.

That's perfect. Any worries with having a smaller battery?
Nope, Braille says the B2015 is great for daily driven 4 cylinders. But due to other "projects" on the car, i wont be able to test it out until later this month.
I also am not running an aftermarket sound system so the only extra load on it it my airride.

Trunk mount is the only way to fly! lol
Or you could save a lot of money and buy a Deka battery over the Braille.
The Braille isnt that expensive.

I can probably get a discount on the odyssey batteries as I used to work for Enersys the company that makes them, get me a part number and I will see what I can do for you guys if interested.

Link to said battery?
Brailles are rebadged Dekas, which for those who don't know are AGM sealed motorcyle/tractor batteries. You can find a cheaper equivalent battery at Walmart or any parts store.
Big Crank ETX16 for $68.95 is another rebadged Deka right inline with the $150+ msrp Braille that Tinkles posted. The "ETX" is the giveaway to being a Deka.
You can google it also. I've seen forums where the Deka ETX14 (ETX line is what you would want to use in a car) was tested against the Braille B14115 with practically identical results. So pretty much go out and buy a motorcyle battery and do the SAE post conversion for well under a $100.
974drfire- Thanks man.
Lol@Brad.
My battery weighs 12 lbs I think. *will double check*

I've worked on many Deka batteries in my days and I will vouch for their quality, for the price I don't think you can beat them.

what optima batteries u using zyaaaaa? number wise that is?
WiGM-Tuners member.
um... the red top is the smaller cca output one. the yellow top is just whatever it is i guess??
joey- how much could you get one just like david's for me? david- could you have a looksie and see what your part number is and send it to joey?
12lbs is pretty g'damn light for a battery. i dont want one for my white car because its has power everything and a decent sized stereo. but.. for my black car, definitely. it doesnt have one power option and will not have a system so im not worried one bit.

If anyone is considering one of these batteries I would check for any parasitic drain with the car off. They don't like to come back to life after dying. Even something like a car alarm will pull a SLIGHT amount, which won't matter with a OEM spec'd battery, but could be detrimental with a Deka, Braille, or Odyssey. If you're big on drag racing or auto-x I can see using one of these when racing while using a OEM battery for daily driving. Or using two of the small ones in parallel and pulling one when it comes race time. A battery MAINTAINER wouldn't be a bad idea if used daily. Notice I said maintainer and not a trickle charger which doesn't know when to stop and can harm a battery.
The 35/75 case is the model used as stock replacement, so anything that meets that will bolt in.
Go beyond the "bolt-on".
Brad and Chris just give me the part # and I'll see what I can do for you guys, I don't know how much of a discount I get can get but it's worth a shot and could be a lot.

Yellow top should be heavier. Deep cycle = thicker lead plates.

Would any of these batteries have a problem with the car off and the radio on for a while?
