It's like an Apple product: nothing special inside, looks really cool on the outside, double the regular price.

Small group size for small cars, only 450 CCA. The vibration resistant spiral cell design might be good for something like a lawn mower, though most battery powered mowers use smaller batteries than this.

I saw these a lot at Car Audio shows back in the day. How low can you go? Bass......

^ yeah the design also makes them good for placement near a vehicle subwoofer, but at an auto show where the vibration can be managed, it's mainly about pimping the product and looking like you have an exotic setup.

Sometimes companies will just decide to sponsor a product just to get their own product displayed on the exhibit.

The codes work on the larger batteries, 214.99-50=264.99. They are very good batteries for extremely cold temperatures (very high cold cranking amps) or if you run an upgraded stereo system.

These are popular in the motorsports arenas too. Especially off road. They can be mounted sideways and upside down.

The red top is more than enough for the average enthusiast. The yellowtop is most premium they offer.

I don't know about the cold weather claim by comment 6... I always thought cold cranking amps determined this.

Best you can buy. If you live in a very warm or very cold climate get one of these.

mine was dead in less than a year and i had no significant parasitic draw. car batteries are one of the few things you should buy at sears; diehard is consistently rated as the best on the market and even the better/best models are cheaper than this deal.
