BULLSH~T!

This is coming from someone that ran one for a few years. It has next to ZERO cold weather starting ability. If the car sits in weather below 20 degrees for more then a few hours it has a little better then a 50/50 chance to start in the first year. Sustained below zero temps. (bring a jump pack every time!) It drops rapidly after the first year.

The useable life of this type of battery is about 2 years. 3 years if you never see cold weather.

This also takes as a given you have the factory radio and no extra power accessories. These types of batteries also have next to zero reserve time as well so they are no help to the alternator under heavy amperage demand.
