There is lots of info on these batteries at MY 350Z.com and they get bad reviews .. You can pick one up for cheap in private classifieds .

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm going to pick one of these up. Just wanted to know if you opted for the additional aluminum mount kit or if the mount you received came with the battery?

Thanks

What's the difference between this and the stock battery other than the look and weight?

Appreciate the heads up.

I did a few google searches (not a MY 350z.com member) just now and the only threads I pulled up on the MY 350z.com site were in regards to Braille batteries that were for sale. The posts I found were all in reference to 11lbs or 15lbs Braille batteries, which do have less power. Apparently they did a group buy at some point.

I'm looking at getting the 21lbs Braille battery and couldn't find anything negative about it.

I will continue to do my due diligence based on your feedback and if you have any other information to add it would be welcomed.

Thanks.
