Battery Replacement

I need a new battery. Was going with Braille B2015 plus Xtender from Sector 111, but they won't ship the battery to Canada.

Anyone else have any recommendations of where I could buy this or a similar aftermarket battery in Canada?

I found one online place, SoJDM.com - Performance Aftermarket Parts and accessories for JDM Japanese Domestic Market vehicles - SO JDM

Looking for weight savings from OEM and ability to cut off power easily to minimize draining when not in use.

What did you decide to go with? I'm tempted by the 3121 - can anyone advise whether the Braille battery holder works effectively in the Elise?

I went with the Braille B2015 from the place listed previously. They claim Braille is slow in stocking and they are working on getting it to me. I ordered it about 10 days ago. Stuff can take a while coming over the border, so I am not panicking yet.

Once I am certain it is here, I will order the extender thing from Sector 111. I will post here once I have everything rigged up properly.

Battery replacement

I put in an Odyssey PS 925 and this fits the original brackets with a little drilling of the mounting hole (very easy)

I tried to find the original equipment Exide locally just to keep the fitment easy- Not even the local Exide dealer could help me- So, I ended up installing a Miata battery with an adapter- Turned out okay, and it was pretty cheap-
