Just to bump up the thread so people can see the info I posted 4 years ago. I still have my original ETX14 in the car. It sits for months at a time stored in my garage for the winters and only gets an occasional charge when sitting. For the cost and fact that it's lasted me 4 years it's an awesome deal. I'm expecting it will need replacement sometime this year, and i'll happily buy another. $15 a year for a battery is not a big deal to me.

It's rated at 200cca. It will test at 380-430cca routinely. It like many mini batteries has a low reserve. No leaving the radio on for an hour with the vehicle off.
It's the same battery as the "braille racing battery" although they will deny it.
You can also find this same battery re-labeled under the "Carquest" brand with the same ETX14 part number.
I called East Penn directly with my questions. I run this battery now in my car.

I made my setup for around $80

The battery stays in the car, and I put a tender on it maybe 2-3 times during the winter for a few days. I'm really impressed how well it's held up so far.

Factory terminals work fine. Negative was replaced because the stock one broke.
