I installed it in my car, and my scangauge indicated that voltage was less than 13volts. It would stay around 12, then dip into the 11s and 10s even. I tried running my radar detector (as the only electrical accessory), and it would not run... it kept shutting down and basically was struggling to work. Not good.

So... I decided to put back in the stock battery and return the Braille battery tomorrow (unfortunately). I put the stock battery back in which I only had out for maybe 4 hours, and now it is indicating a low charge (12-13volts, when it normally boots right up to 14volts). So what's the deal with the battery issues? Is my stock battery dead? Was I supposed to "break in" this Braille battery so it could build up a charge to 13.8 (supposedly what it says it's supposed to output) volts?

Shame on you for not ordering it from NST

It sounds like your problem is elsewhere. Maybe a loose connection? Something moved without you noticing? A wire being pinched? etc? The fact that your OEM battery is also showing low output leads me to believe that your problem is NOT with the Braille, and with something else.

I have yet to hear, or see, any problems with the Braille battery when installed correctly. We have done about a dozen of these installations in Scion, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan cars in our garage at NST. Every battery thus far has fired right up, has worked very well, and has provided very good results.

I would check all your connections before making your final decision.

Good luck, and please consider NST for your future purchases
