Wow, almost cheap enough to just buy and test it out, to see if it is good or not for myself.

I picked up the same battery (just a different name badge) for my car about a month and a half ago. So far it's been flawless, even in sub-10 degree temps. I found it at my local Advance Auto Parts in their ATV/Motorcycle battery section for $68 and made my own sheet metal tray to hold it in place for a grand total of less than $85.

That's like saying double sided tape works awesome on seat rails, but what happens in a accident?

I noticed they offer Free Shipping on orders over $50 so this seemed like a great deal to jump on..

Must purchase the positive and negative terminal posts also that I have posted a few posts up..

Looking forward to taking 20lbs out of the front of my car!

Thanks to the OP for doing the sleuthing on this. Also, thanks for posting this link. It's $67 shipped now but still the best price I could find. I'm planning on running this during summer/autocross season and throw the stock one back in during the winter if it even becomes an issue. Can't be anymore of a pain to do than swapping wheels/tires.
