Braille Batteries - Customer Service

[heyjae]

@ Lil Bastard - thanks for the tip. I'll look into changing the voltage regulator.

@ Blinkwatt - I don't have any pictures right now. Once I install the new hold down, I'll take a pic. I actually got the Braille battery. I only learned recently that it is the same as the Deka. The Braille was $160. I think the Deka is less than half that. This thread has a lot of good info: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2353060

One member on the VW forum post;

They can get the terminal adapters as well, you just have to ask.

Does this mean that anyone using the lightweight motorcycle batteries has to buy some sort of terminal adapters?

If so does anyone know which exactly we are supposed to buy?

"Most high-end Audiophiles now use additional batteries and/or custom alternators with increased capacity. There are also devices for sale which allow two batteries to be used, but cut one battery out if the draw becomes too great in order to protect it for car starting, accessory power demands and such.

Space in the Boxster is limited, so I think a custom higher capacity alternator has more appeal and practicality than either additional batteries or Caps. "

For what its worth, I am using the larger size of the Barille battery and have had no problem using it to drive two large outboard amps for the speakers and subwoofer to unnecessarily loud levels. No lights dimming on heavy bass lines, so I am pretty pleased by their performance for audio applications.

Does anyone know where I can buy a custom battery tray to match the Deka battery?

Does using these batteries require longer battery cables?
