I have that same battery! I heard that you guys were coming out with a device that would cut the power if the voltage got too low. I need that for my application

Rickdogg it is already out. here is info on it:

Braille Power Protector Features:

Never-Dead Battery Protection: The Braille Power Protector monitors battery voltage and usage with the vehicle running and when it is turned off. If it senses that the usage of the battery when the vehicle is turned off will exceed the amount of power needed to start the vehicle, the Braille Power Protector will disconnect the battery and protect it from being drained. This saves you from being stranded and wasted time due to a dead battery. It also avoids towing costs and extends the life of the battery.
Remote Control Battery Connection: Using a small key fob, you can connect and disconnect the battery. You can also operate the key fob to reconnect the power after the Power Protector has prevented a dead battery.
Anti-Theft Protection: Using the Remote you can disconnect the battery, preventing theft of the vehicle while away.
Passive Power Allowance: The Power Protector can be set up to allow some small amounts of power to serve the back up radio, ECU and clock functions in the vehicle.
Easy Installation: To install the Braille Power Protector, simple hand tools make this a bolt-on job. Comprehensive instructions with diagrams are provided to aid installation for many different vehicle applications and mounting configurations - this is a universal product for all vehicles

This battery will work with a stereo as long as your running a capacitor.

If you want to leave your stereo on with the car off for an extended period of time the 11.5 would not be idea but we also do make a 15lb for guys that love there stereo.

I'll try posting a pic of the battery in my engine compartment too...

Stock 37lbs
Braille 11.5lbs

Other than removing the spare tire, this is the easiest weight saving mod. Car starts very easily, no problems.
