Anyone try the Braille carbon fiber battery ?

11.5 lbs. w/360 CCA.....about $170. Kinda pricey.

Sears Die Hard Gold First Vote
It has a 3 year warranty, if in the three years the car doesn't start, I get a new battery. Seems like a good deal to me.

I use interstate batteries. They seem to hold up well, have a 5yr pro rated warranty and I get a discount.

NRG Cell Original, thanks to tip from another S2K owner. Saved weight from OEM battery (it weighs around 11.5 lbs I think while OEM is more like 28 lbs) and has been very reliable for me. I got it here:

Just bought a Die Hard Gold. You can't go wrong with their warranty. I had the original Panasonic, but it was four years old and just began to sound a bit tired.

'02 with 42k miles and stock battery. Once in a while it seems to crank a bit weak, but its still alive!
