Interesting differences in opinion. So should I slow discharge it and slow recharge it once a year? I read that the red tops don't do so well if they completely discharge. I am however intrigued by Hazy's story.

They are not as tall as a "Regular" 12v battery, so make sure you can still strap it down!


Yeah, it came with a try on top which can also be used as a raised seat so the stock strap worked fine.

Both made a real difference at start-up, the starter really seems to kick harder, and the vehicles start much easier and quicker. That alone is a good reason to use them...


I agree. The difference is quite noticeable.
