Braille Lithium Ion "Drop in" Battery for Lotus Exige Sport 380

Braille Lithium Ion Battery Specifications

Braille "plug & play" batteries are specially adapted to a particular vehicle model, so you can quickly benefit from all the advantages offered by lithium-ion technology. As these products are specific, please check the dimensions and terminals of the batteries before ordering to ensure that they can be fitted to your vehicle. For your information, we offer SAE terminals as an option if your vehicle uses conventional terminals (see details at the bottom of the page).

Braille lithium-ion batteries are designed to meet the demands of competition thanks to their outstanding properties and capacities: high performance, extreme lightness, resistance to shock and vibration, quick recharging, extended life... These are all advantages over conventional lead-acid technology, not only for top-level motor sports, but also for vehicles used in track days, club racing and even on the road.

Advantages of Braille Lithium Ion Batteries

• Long lasting : Braille batteries last 3 to 5 times longer than conventional lead-acid batteries. Their general lifespan is 8 to 12 years in normal conditions, but with proper care and maintenance, some users have been able to extend the durability to 15 years!
• Extreme lightness : Most of the brand's lithium-ion batteries boast a weight reduction of around 75% compared with lead-acid batteries of the same size. In fact, the smallest product in the range weighs less than 2 kg!
• Quick start : Thanks to their lithium-ion technology, Braille batteries offer higher starting capabilities than lead-acid batteries. Their high cranking amps ensure hassle-free operation from the moment you turn the key.
• Achievements : Braille products have been tried and tested on the streets and in racing events for over ten years. The brand's lithium-ion batteries were the first to win an F1 championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other prestigious endurance races.
• Great for storage : Lithium-ion batteries are an ideal choice for vehicles in winter storage or in long-term storage, as they self-discharge less than 1% per month. In fact, they are also an asset for garages and parking areas without electricity.
• Total loss applications : These batteries are also suitable for use in racing vehicles with no alternator (so-called "total loss" applications). It's important to choose the right wattage for the job.
• Reliability and safety : Designed for reliability and a low failure rate, Braille batteries offer an enhanced level of safety. In the event of impact damage, they do not release any corrosive substances, preserving the safety of the driver and the vehicle.
• High performance : These batteries deliver more power than a lead-acid battery, allowing the user to exploit 100% of their capacity. What's more, the charge time from minimum to maximum is 5 times faster than with a conventional battery, at around 30 minutes!
• Smart design : Respecting the dimensions of major manufacturers' batteries, Braille makes it quick and easy to switch to lithium technology. The brand even offers 100% plug & play products for the most popular sports cars!

Precautions for Use

WARNING! Please read the instructions supplied before use.

Optional Accessories

Lithium-ion batteries require special care when it comes to recharging. First of all, it's important to remember that you must never use a jump starter to recharge a flat lithium-ion battery, as this can cause overheating, fire or even an explosion if handled incorrectly. It's also very important to choose the right charger for the product so as not to shorten its lifespan, as in this case with a TM270 or TM390 charger from Optimate. Recommended by Braille, these high-quality products are specially designed for this technology.

Your battery model may have terminals that are not compatible with your vehicle. If this is the case, we offer a Braille brass terminal kit that converts M6 female terminals into SAE round terminals. Easy to adapt to your battery, the kit includes a positive terminal, a negative terminal and two M6 bolts.
