Nathan, thanks for the info. A few of us on here have touted the advantages (mostly size, actual power in service, and service life) of the small, comparatively, AGM batteries. Albeit with the Brand.....uh....O, since I guess we'd have to call you Brand X version.

Experience has taught some of us that the AGMs perform much better than their CCA or CA would indicate, and I'm sure you're correct that those measuring standards are outdated, however they are still the standard. It seems to me that those of you with newer technology should be making presentations to SAE or whomever to introduce a new standard and a viable cross reference system so that potential buyers would have a reliable, non-biased method of evaluation. The big dog, as you probably know, in the car hobby market is the gell filled Brand O.....................which in my opinion and experience is junk, particularly if allowed to discharge say over winter. But they do make an effective door stop then. I know lots of guys will swear by them, but that's because they haven't experienced better.
