You could pick one up from Summit Racing - they have a store near Akron, OH. They carry Braille, Odyssey, etc.

i use an interstate battery that is for a crx. had it for 4 years with no problems whatsoever.
its about 1/2 the size of the factory nissan battery.

I've got the 11.5 lbs Braille on my S14 and I love it. Starts like a champ every time.

wtf, 4 years mine must be a crappy lawn mower battery since i got i from walmart that loses juice like nothing. Especially when cranking it a couple of times it goes completely dead. I can't even leave my radio on without the car on because itlll drain alot of the power.

i got a motorcycle battery in mine lol. been working fine for about a year now.

jmac636 · 06-03-2009, 02:03 PM

I bought an everstart 26-5s that fits sideways in my s14. I had to do a little trimming but it's worth the 650 cranking amps you get. I also had too extend the two smaller gauge wires on my positive terminal. The battery measures 7.75Wx6.5Lx7H

get the SVR28-12 audio battery. It's more than you need. it's smaller than the miata battery and has more cranking amps. had it in my car for 4 years. never died once.
