Braille Light Weight Battery & Bracket - weight savings for your M car

For those interested in a light weight Braille battery and mounting plate set-up that will be a very easy bolt-in to your E36/38/39/46/9X chassis, it's here!

Mounting plate is black anodized light weight aluminum, which will fit with either of the 11.5, 15 or 21 lbs Braille light weight battery. Weight savings can be 40+ lbs (depends on the size of battery purchased) when compared to a stock size BMW battery.

The price for the hold down kit is $139.96.

As for the battery, there are a few choices:

SKU: B3121
Weight: 21 lbs

At 21 pounds the Braille B3121 offers over 1300 pulse cranking amps with 550 cold cranking amps, 31 amp/HR reserve capcity, but still weighs 50% less than its closest competitor. Perfect for Audio Systems, Extreme Motors, and Premium Luxury Vehicles! More details...
Price: $229.99

or

SKU: B2015
Weight: 15 lbs

The Spec B2015 is also perfect for daily street use, even in colder climates. Braille developed the B2015 to excel at racing and to easily power street vehicles equipped with A/C, stereos and power accessories. 1067 pulse cranking amps, 425 cold cranking amps and 20amp/HR reserve capacity. More details...
Price: $199.99

We recommend a minimum of B3121(21lb battery) for the E9X 3-series because of the greater number of electronic consumers(DME, MRS, CAS, DSC, ZKE just to name a few).
