Just a quick heads up for the guys with Odysseys. I've run mine for over four years now and of course love it. I did have one issue that can be easily missed. My car started acting like it had an electrical short. From my V1 rebooting itself, dash lights blinking, to complete engine power cut off. Fearing the worst I began diagnosis and found the allen bolt that attaches the brass terminal to the battery on the negative side had become loose. Since its internal to the mount the bolt cannot be seen and with the battery cable bolt tight it gave no indication that this would be the source. Simple fix this time!

I think you guys have me sold on the idea. I was thinking about a dry cell when my battery started to die, but, was not sure how well it would work. Now that it is dead I think I will order a PC680 tonight.

Braille Auto Development proudly released the World’s first full line of Carbon Fiber Batteries. This new line of batteries starts off with a ridiculously light B106 “Racing Battery” (under 7 pounds) and expands in power and capacity to the 21 pound “Audio & Extreme Use” (Part #B3121). Using a genuine carbon-fiber shell combined with advanced internal construction, Braille Auto breaks through the boundaries of weight, performance and appearance commonly associated with automotive batteries.
