Braille battery....any users want to comment

[Rusty Davenport]

Just curious......any users want to comment......which model for a stocker---is there a special charger----can you use them together in pairs-----any negatives ????

First Braille batteries are made by DEKA check out the DEKA powersports line same battery---- second Brailles cost about almost 50% more than the exact same Deka battery---third Braille exagerates the CCA specs on the battery compared to what DEKA claims it to be--- yes you can use them in pairs or triples---- No you do not need a special charger other than using the correct charging amperage and a charger that is designed to be used with AGM batteries---

I used an 11 lb Braille bat in my R/SA Jeep 6 cyl for 3 years BUT- it is not enough to go rounds - 1 run every hour with charging is what you get.
Switched to Deka 18 lb last year and requires less charging and always starts - also costs about $80 instead of $150!

I bought one earlier the year, p/n 3121. Works for me. You need to use one of the low amp/mantainer chargers. I don't have an electric water pump(pure stocker), so all it does is start the car. I've made 8 runs at a test&tune, no problems. If I knew about the Deka, I'm sure I'd would have gone the route.

OK, let's get the facts straight here.
Deka and Braille are NOT the same battery. Not even close.
The only thing they have in common is that both are manufactured in Pennsylvania by East Penn Manufacturing. That's it.
Deka batteries are made to Deka specs and Braille to their specs.
Braille specs are not over stated and they have the best racing battery warrantee in the industry.
If you buy too small a battery for your needs it will not perform to expectaions.
We are a dealer and a firm believer in the product.
Tony and Beth's EFI stockers both have had the B3121 Braille batteries in them for 5 years now.
I think their performance record speaks for itself.
If you are interested in one feel free to call me at 219-861-1214 days.
We stock the B3121

Was going to ask the same question!

I've run them for just over three years and they've worked very well for me. I use the B3121, one up front and one in the trunk.
