Default Braille Batterys


Tray I am making.


15lbs is more then enough to crank a high compression LS motor; could probally get away with a 11lbs.

I will be putting a battery tender on it tho when it is in the garage because I have a feeling all the battery draws my car has will kill it while it sleeps.
