What battery is that?? If you think about it could you get me the dimensions?

I wasn't so sure of the battery, I got the one that was in the car and a new spare that came with. The old one seemed to do fine at the track though.

We're so far behind here we gotta try to step up the "during the week shop time" so Autumn dropped the radiator to a buddy to get it welded on and I stopped at the local candy store to pick up some stainless braided (with a woven nylon cover) fuel line and a bit of -20 to try.

ETX18L is usually a battery grouping used for motorcycles,scooters and atv's ! I guess if it works for you, run with it. Nice and light that is for sure.

That's exactly what it is... a motorcycle battery. Worked fine the little bit we did actually use it.

Half the price of a comparable Braille... https://www.braillebattery.com/index...atteries/b2317 If it lasts and does the job I would run it as well.

When your wrench is -20 but your fitting is -21

Do want you want with the battery options but 3rd round Sunday I had to drive around a guy in the lanes because his unit would not crank over. Certainly he was happy to miss the round. Go for big, lots of cranking amps, and reserve. Money well spent.

I will second that.....When that little girl starts going rounds (and she will) these mini battery’s will disappoint at the worst possible time....
