Finally cleaned the pine needles out from the Christmas tree... Wowee.







Always feels cathartic. Salt damage on the carpet because no floor mats... Maybe when my car is in for recall I'll buy some as a get well gift

You put a Christmas tree in your FRS? I mean I've treated my car like a truck on occasion, but a Christmas tree?

That's hard core vacuuming, pulling the seat out!
You need these:

I feel like an Amazon salesman now.

Yeah I should get some. In every car I've owned, I take all the seats out to vacuum/clean. I've owned way too many where I've found surprises under the seats from a previous owner! So now it's just habit no matter what I'm doing. Not much work to remove them anyway

Be careful letting that thing run out. It fucks them up real quick. You can't use a normal charger either (according to Braille) in case you didn't know

Very nice! I've been daily driving on a Braille battery for the last 3 years!

Also... ordered a late Christmas gift for myself.

Thanks! That is good to know. This is my daily car, it will probably never run out. Right after installation, it started the engine without any hesitation at 19F temperature. So, I think, it should be fine if I leave the car without driving about a week.

Thanks for letting me know. I have read other good reviews before deciding on this one. I could have probably gone with a lighter model but I went with the safest size in the end. Still, it is 15 lbs lighter than stock.

Mine lasted about 3 days before it wouldn't start when it was warm out. But I have some parasitic loss and my push start system requires higher voltage to start.

3 days without driving.

But like I said, I have some parasitic accessories and a starter system that requires extra voltage. If I use the key I could probably make 4or 5 days. If you had 0 parasitic loss you could presumably go forever without consequence

I have push start too. What is causing parasitic loss in your car? And, did you have 21 as well?

I have an aftermarket push start system. 21 what?

Dash cam is parasitic with parking mode

Thanks for specifying. I have no such accessories. 21 is the battery model. Braille refers to weight with their model numbers.
