Long story short I need a new battery ASAP as mine just tested half the rated cranking amps due to the battery being 7 years old now . I was wondering what others thought of certain batteries and their experience. So let's here it, what battery do you have and what do you think is the best? How prone are non AGM/Gel/Dry Cell batteries to spills under racing conditions?

 

Hands down better be the best battery in the world

I'm a fan of the Odyssey dry cell batteries. I've used the PC625 in a couple cars. Plenty of juice for the typical 4-banger, and as a dry cell, there's nothing to spill. Super-lightweight, super-small, super-reliable, and really not all that expensive.

With Braille and Optima and such, you're paying a lot extra for a big brand name. (and before the Odyssey secret started getting out, you could get one for $80... now they're over $100)

I've seen a lot of track cars with Odyssey batteries

 

Braille doesn't make batteries. They rebadge a Eastern Penn battery. If your interested in spending more continue your revereance otherwise Deka is the deal.

Deka= Braille

 

We were just having a discussion about the Braille = Deka connection on another forum. The Deka version of the Braille is less than 1/2 the cost. For example...
