Hey, I was looking to get a lightweight battery and thought I'd throw out some feelers here. I don't want the hassel of spreading this buy outside of Brisbane. I don't even know if they would even do a discount. But anyway it is a Braille battery, http://www.brailleauto.com/productcart/pc/...amp;idproduct=1, price is list at $260 and are located in Everton Park from a place called 'The Racing Room'.

Info for the lazy;

You want batteries Dave? My best mate sells batteries for a living. I will see what he can get you. I know he can get the Deka's too...

[Northy]

ill have my camera with me tonight if anyone wants some pics of their cars

I like the Braille ones since they are the lightest I have found so far and is actually designed to be used in a car. The Deka one, AFAIK, is just a snow mobile battery. It uses the same case but weights about 2kg more.

And so far I am on for tonight.

Dave has decided to be soft and not head out tonight :P

[SuperDave]

But if I go I'll give up the garage spot

Plus azn dave's goods were tainted.

[Northy]

so who is out tonight?

[DHC09]

Just drove back from Fraser.. so im a bit buggered. oh yeah the XC90 hammers on the sand!

[Buddha]

so who is out tonight?

I'll be there ... in the "new" wagon, of course ... :-)

[SuperDave]

I'm with DHC on this one. DDR sticks together :P

Just make sure you get all the salt and sand out of the chassis! A sprinkler underneith it for a while did the trick nicely, untill water resitrictions turned up.

[DHC09]

All good mate. I used the high pressure jets on the island and gave it a good underbody blast. I'm in the process of tracking down some videos of it going through some really fluffy sand.

[perthcamry]

my car arrived so no more hire 380 for me :-)

have to catch up with you guys some time soon
