Designed to fit common Braille G5 Lithium-Ion non-starting battery. A Secure Mounting Solution for Your LS Sprint Car’s Onboard Battery. LS sprint cars are gaining in popularity at tracks across the country. At Knoxville Raceway’s Pro Sprint class, the CT525 LS crate engine program is just one of many that are running this GM crate engine in an effort to make racing more affordable. These LS crate engines do not run a magneto, and as such these engines have a belt driven alternator and a battery to power the engine’s ignition system. The commonly used battery for this application is the Braille G5 Lithium-Ion Battery unit. Weighing in at just under 1.5 pounds, the Braille battery handles the LS sprint car’s CT525 ignition system and more without breaking a sweat, but obviously is not utilized or able to start the engine (even LS-based sprint cars are still push started). The issue becomes where to mount the Braille battery in your sprint car, because as we all know, these chassis do not have much room. The answer was a metal battery box to keep the Braille battery secure. Our solution is this Speedway Motors battery box that mounts to the engine’s front motor plate. The location provides quick access for battery servicing or removal for off-car charging, plus wire runs to necessary connections on the engine stay short and away from moving parts. 125-inch aluminum, the aluminum battery box is made as light as possible. Knowing how critical any additional weight in a sprint car, and its placement in the chassis can be, helped us to design and manufacture the lightest battery box for the Braille battery possible, while maintaining enough strength to support the Braille battery race after race. The aluminum battery box includes mounting hardware and Braille battery retaining top plate with hardware, ready to install. Designed to fit Braille G5 Lithium-Ion battery, PN 194500.
