Ordered myself a Braille battery for Christmas Big thank you to Doc for introducing me to Braille (yes Doc, I creep through your build thread - a LOT). Doc's post on his Braille battery is below.

For accuracy I'll be weighing my Braille and OEM battery when I install/remove them.

Here's a shot of the Braille battery on the scale:
