Overview
Aimed at passenger cars and trucks, this sealed AGM lead acid starter has SAE posts. The maker describes a spiral cell design and a leak-proof case, and says it recovers charge faster than a conventional battery.
Its strength is cranking power in tough conditions, which suits modified engines and off-road use. The listing also credits strong vibration resistance and longer life than standard flooded types. It is not a deep cycle design, and the part numbers on the listing do not agree with each other, so verify the group fit before buying.
Who it's for
Hot rod builders and off-roaders who shake a battery hard and need it to fire every time. The sealed case lets it be mounted away from the usual tray. Boat owners wanting a house bank should look at a deep cycle product instead.
Pros and cons
- Strong cranking in harsh weather
- Leak-proof, positionable case
- Maintenance free, no refilling
- Quicker recharge than flooded types
- Not meant for deep cycle loads
- Listed part numbers disagree
- Warranty terms not stated clearly
- Amp-hour capacity not published
Performance notes
Cranking output follows the cold cranking figure on the listing. The spiral cell build is credited with clean power and with vibration tolerance well above a conventional battery. Quick charge recovery helps vehicles that make many short trips.
