07 K9 original battery lasted 3 yearsWell i went out to start the scoot the other day...hit the start button and heard the starter grunting as it was struggling to get through the compression stroke
(no compression releases) then "click" click" from the starter.
I thought to myself "loose connection" removed the seat and took a looksy .... crap!! ground connection must of been loose because it melted the lead negative post down the side of the battery and there my cable stood in mid air as if it was exposed to a nuclear blast....I love my Braille Battery:2thumbs:
Well I call to order another Braille from our local distributor and he tells me Theres something better i'm thinking shut the hell up ... nothing better than a Braille...:loony::loony:
Well no bull shit .... this is one bad ass battery...made in the USA by the same company as Braille and it kicks ass
(bought it) "465 CCA" more power than the Braille and same dimensions and one model is "500CCA" let me cut out all the story telling here it is ...oh yeah 2 yr warranty
