No,last week, before I came to Simpsons.

Wasn't any real time between baking it out if garage and the fault occurring.

ANYWAY, Nick at Braille Uk has told me to pop in and get it tested.

I did this back in October and snick tested the battery and gave it a clean bill of health, since then it's been 100% fine.

I guess something must have drained it on the car in about 30mins while I was fiddling about.

So big up for Nick and Braille. This battery has nearly lasted as long as my BmW one.

Yeah, I concur. Nick is a top bloke and the braille
batteries last if looked after properly. One of the cheapest upgrades too!

So is the Braille B2317 a good option for the CSL ?

b2317R I think is the one.

Fantastic, mine has lasted longer than original OeM battery.

If you are lucky oNeill might build you a super lightweight battery holder
