Does anyone know if the "Braille all season battery" #B2015 is then the same as the EXT20L ? Seems like by the dimensions, it is the same...
I was planning on getting the slightly larger Braille battery #B2015, due to cold climate where I live, not that much heavier or much larger than the EXT14L and then should not have any issues with AC and stereo components.
Any Thoughts...

UPDATE/REVIEW:
I used the EXT20L but I got it at carquest near my house. Its a bit larger than the
EXT14L But seems to be comparable to the Braille B2015 (they call this the all season lightweight battery). Weighs in at 15lbs. and a bit higher CC# than the Ext14L.
Only issue is that it may not fit most of your battery trays, As I think its slightly larger. I have a pretty simple/homemade tray that I modded to accept this.
I have had the battery on my car for about a month now with no issues. I live in Buffalo NY and its pretty cold here most of the time, about 20-30* average lows.
I will say that if I probably didnt drive the car everyday, it maybe an issue, running this small battery in such cold temps. I will post up some pics this week.

Winters getting milder and I have yet to have a problem with this battery at all.
Here is a pic with my very simple/possibly homemade battery tray, got it out of the FS section for cheap and it does the job.

We need to find a store that has cheap rebadged ETX14 batteries in stock. There seem to be a ton with that model name but they all have different dimensions and CCA ratings etc. I originally had my Deka ordered for $52 out the door but they called me to say they didn't carry it any longer
Function before style

I noticed they offer Free Shipping on orders over $50 so this seemed like a great deal to jump on..
Must purchase the positive and negative terminal posts also that I have posted a few posts up..
Looking forward to taking 20lbs out of the front of my car!
