i disagree bud . they have their benefits but also have downfalls of little reserve capacity . not much good if ur tinkering with the car one sunday and want the radio on without the engine running .. but the benefit is they will start your car in sub zero temperatures without any loss .. for general motoring id say they are no good .. for serious aplications IE starting a track day car , extreme high current car audio ( where short high power bursts are used) they are superb

I should have kept that receipt!!

 

LOL!!

i bought a batt from halfords for 60 quid, 490. and its much smaller than that one ;)
