Braille batteries are the same as Deka. Just repackaged. It seems Braille Cust Serv is very good, so the higher price (about 2x as expensive) may be worth it. I have the 11 lb battery in my track car. Supposedly it optimally charges at 12.5 volts or so, so I may be overstressing the battery. However, it isn't my daily driver so it may be fine. If not, the Deka replacement is a lot cheaper.

I've been using a "modified" hold down from Pep Boys as an interim solution. I just ordered a great looking hold down made specifically for Braille/Deka batteries from spturbo.com last weekend. It should be a simple matter of drilling 2 holes into the battery tray and I'm good to go.

I did have to get a longer + battery cable, but that is very easy to do. It's a simple 2 bolt affair using a $7 cable from Pep Boys. One terminal on the firewall and the other on the battery.
