They seem over priced. Granted they have a carbon fiber case, the weight savings isnt there. I have an AMS battery which is actually an Oddysee battery and it weights 15lbs. Cost is 115.00 when i bought my last one last fall.

Prolly doesnt matter the manufacturer but these batteries do not liek the cold as far as storage. You def need a batt tender if the car is going to sit in storage.

- Better Acceleration:
Lighter Weight = Faster Acceleration


By what .0000x is that even worth it?

- Free Replacement Warranty
The best warranty in the industry.


Oh really? I would confirm this at the point of sale and make it clear to them that you're not going to forget that.

- Longer Battery Life:
Up to a 6 yr life = Lower Maintenance Costs


Up being the key word here...and with proper maintenance of a battery!

Other wise my thoughts are its directed towards someone attracted by the carbon fiber design and doesn't mind paying a little something extra for a battery they like. Just seems gimmicky, but hey everyones got a catch.

...and of course you're going to want to take good care of it and follow proper battery maintenance when storing your car is a good idea and a prerequisite by some already.
