i was planning to buy the braille B14115 (only weighs 11.5 pounds), but do i have to worry about the car not being able to start if i have the car off and the radio on for about 1 hour or 2 hours?

the OEM battery has only 310 CCA
the odyssey PC680 battery has only 220 CCA (this battery is recommended with the password JDM intake)
the braille B14115 has 360 CCA

so technically the braille battery should be better than OEM. will i have any other problems with this battery? what else should look for before i buy this battery? what is the reserve capacity for the OEM battery?

 

I use the braille battery (the 6.6lb one) on my "race car" for over a year. I only use the battery on race weekends, but it does pretty well. Mainly the car sits on a battery tender during the week, but I rarely charge over race weekends. My guess is that it is good to start the engine at least a dozen times with minimal charging in between.

My friend uses odyssey on his "race car". It does well too. I think he can do more engine starts. probably could be a better daily driver battery than the one i have.

I think the lightweight batteries are good just for the performance advantage from the weight loss. I have little trust in the small batteries for daily driving. Plus my race car is light enough to push start if I'm out of juice.

If you go to braile's website and click applications. They recommend the endurance batteries for daily driving. I would probably stay away from the "no-weight" batteries, unless i carry around one of those jumper packs.
