Braille light weight battery

Does anybody have any experience with the lightweight battery made by Braille? It is called the Braille "No Weight" Racing battery, but would it work OK for the street as well? It is tiny, only about 7" X 4" X 6", and weighs only 15 pounds! But it still puts out 425 cold cranking amps. As best as I can tell, it is not high tech, just lead acid but it uses a different method of construction. It sells for $190 on Jegs.com, not too expensive. Its not deep cycle, and so not for electric cars, although Braille might make other models?

After looking around their website a little more, I realize that TireRack.com may not be the best place to look for LRR tire info. I have always liked their reviews, lots of feedback with a large sample size on different performance characteristics, so you can really compare the tires. But they don't include mileage in their list! And they don't even have Low Rolling Resistance as a tire category.
