What is the next lightest battery (more durable) for a daily driver after the Odessey PC 925 please ? I hace PC 925's in my Ferrari's which work fine but would like something a little more durable in my TT without too much weight

 

I'm getting ready to buy the Braille B14115. They also make a bracket kit for it too...11.5 lbs...

I thought Sharkwerks has a kit?

 

Light batteries are a pain, especially in Porsches.

 

Why? Have to charge all the time? Even if you set the alarm?

 

Yep. At least for the lightest ones, which most of which are made for 4 wheelers and recreational vehicles. Plus the cranking amps are pathetic. You'll have to live on the trickle charger.

 

FWIW, Deka = Braille for half the price.

 

Part number? Cross reference B14115? Same weight?

 

Where are the Deka batteries sold?

 

that one is worse not better

 

Have you tried these Tom? Which one is worse than which and why?

 

Should be the ETX14, weighs 11.5lbs. Links should help: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2353060&page=1

I know Titan went with the ETX30 (21lbs) in their 996TT build.

 

The PC680 has been in my car for two years, zero issues. It weights 16lbs. I have a battery tender on her 24/7 and drive the car once a week.

 

^^^^ That's what I got, and if you don't have the tender on it 24/7 car will barely make it overnight. And it's one of the better batteries lb for lb.

Light weighters are very high maintenance. Best to keep a set of jumper cables and a bigger battery to hook them to if need be and to have a spare battery if it dies which has also been known to happen.

 

I went with the Sears battery for daily driveability. I travel a good amount and don't want to keep a trickle charger on the car but it still dropped 20 or 25 lbs off the weight of the OEM battery.
