Review of Ptuning Light Weight Battery Mount Kit - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

kanundrum · 09-03-2013, 11:14 PM

Testing out a Light Weight battery kit for @Mrc@ptuning and just wanted to leave some comments.

Kit weighs 30oz and is made up of high quality Billet Aluminum (Forgot the Spec) but its super strong.

Kit can Handle any small battery whether its the braille 2105 (Shown) or a shorai, deka, odyssey.

Replaces all stock components used currently to mount the battery tray.

Super Sturdy and can handle lots of vibration/force with out any issues so its definitely race grade quality, design and material.

Installation was super easy and could take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes depending on how fast you work.

Tons of Space now in the engine compartment!

Battery Fitment:
- Odyssey PC680/PC680MJ
- Odyssey PC545
- Odyssey PC310
- Braille B106
- Braille B129
- Braille B14115
- Braille B2015
- Shorai LFX36L3-BS12
- And more to fitment to come…

I did want to comment that the Braille 2105 Battery for my first day has worked flawlessly and is running a healthy 14.8 volts as shown by my radar detector.

My braile battery lasted just over 2 years and died. Going with Odyssey next.

haha. I know, I know. I'm just trying to find it on sale.

I'll end up ordering one within the next month or two. Lots of projects (car and non-car related) have used up my extra funds for this month already.

Any chance of this going on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
