No experience with that one, but for awhile I had an Odyssey PC680 in my autox car. It has slightly less capacity than the Braille B2015 but never had an issue starting the car. Why did I get rid of it? I went to a trunk mounted battery and wanted the weight gain (30+ pounds) of a full size battery on the front wheels.

The term "Pulse cranking amperage" is a term not heard before. Suspect this means it can put out good cranking amperage for only a few seconds.
If that is true, then a Corvair that is flooded, would not crank long enough to clear the cylinders. Or if an electrical device was left on for a little while, the battery would not be able to crank the engine.

Not in a Corvair but I have one of those in my track car. Keep it on a battery tender whenever you can. Lifespan will probably not exceed 2 years. The more you keep it on a tender the longer it will last.
