That battery is amazing. I just purchased a Braille and thought it was lightweight. But this is incredible. OTOH, at that price, I doubt I would have chosen it. Have you any knowledge or experience in using this on a street car?
Again. Wow.

I installed the next size up in my RS so I will know how it works in a street car soon.

Voltphreak for the win!

Been running mine for two years now.

Lightest on the market. About the size of 2 staked VHS tapes.

Saved almost 50 lbs in my car.
