i have the braille 11.5lb in my gti and i am not to satisfided with it anymore.

the ups...

-small, can fit almost anywhere
-light
-dry cell, can let drain then recharge years later


the downs...

-if your car doesn't start right away and you keep cranking, the battery is pretty much dead and needs to be charged
-if your engine is in the back and your battery is up front, a lot of power is lost with all the wires. if your engine is up front and you want a rear battery, a lot of power is lost with all the wires.



i say get the yellow top battery by Optima. i will be changing to one of those shortly.
