    Hmmm, Better batteries for cheaper, that pricked my ears up (negatively)

    AGM batteries are awesome but not really needed in a car
    What brought you down this route - is it just size/capacity/availability thing?

    I need to mount the battery in the rear hatch area because of the intercooler piping.
    If I can fit a smaller battery in the quarter panel area then it saves having to remove my spare.

    Fusion are the same company that make the SSB PowerSport Lithium Batteries.
    Plus he did mention a two year replacement warranty.

    Lithium Ion motorcycle battery in a car?

    Lets be honest guys, Harley's up here have tried Lithium and their bikes caught fire. LiPo for hobbies provide a protective bag to charge in just in case it explodes.

    This technology has not been tested enough by major battery makers to take the market by storm otherwise you'd see batteries by major brands (Century, Bosch, GP, Exide, etc) everywhere. I know even Battery World has not tested the Lithium batteries for bikes and cars enough to stock them at this stage.

    M2C... Just be careful guys.
