Is that a dry cell or just a smaller wet cell? What is the CCA rating?

800CA, so that is what, 500-600CCA (I seem to remember the gell's drop off a bit in the cold, not that it matter much in FL)? I'm sure it'll be fine, just won't run accessories for a long time, sure light. I use to run dry cell in my stereo competition cars, 1200CCA.

It'll work, they just have shorter lifespans than the factory sized batteries and they struggle in the cold (you get a little of that in NJ).

Wes, you just want it for the 'cool carbon case' you CF junkie!

God forbid it ever happens but if you were to lose a limb you'd be grining ear to ear imagining the kick a$$ CF 'aftermarket' limb to take it's place.

Props for keeping all your CF in check though - your car is ultra clean mate, not overdone & gawdy at all.
