I am kicking the my big, heavy, 1000 cranking amp, Everstart battery to the curb(weighs 46.5lbs). So I need to know who makes the best 12V battery out there?? Anyone had any luck with Braille?? They are really light and seem to have alot of cranking power.. I think 1300 cranking amps and only weighs like 21lbs.. I have a small trunk so a small powerful battery would be nice, but whatever will work the best.

Thanks

Lots of choices. I will say this about the smaller batteries: you need to be careful and mindful of the fact that unless it is lithium type battery you will have very, very little useable reserve capacity in a smaller battery.
Which is not a problem as long as you start quickly, and dont stall. But you may have issues if you flood the car and need to clear it, which usually only happens where? (And only in eliminations) My thought is it could be an expensive 20lbs.

You have brought up some very interesting points to really think about. I know that if I had to choose.. I would much rather have the reserve/reliability over the weight savings.. It would be nice to have both but doesnt look like one can go that way without spending alot of money on just a battery.. Especially since my trunk is very small and space it limited.. Thank you very much for your help I really appreciate it.
