Between this battery, my volvo electric power steering pump, and the geo tracker alternator (55amp at idle) it will pull this battery down to unsafe voltages in 20 minutes if I hold the power steering pump against the stop as hard as I can (80 amp in this case) while idling. In other words, its fine because I'm sure the pump would have problems in less time than that. Havent run it long enough to need to balance it. Another guy that I race with was running one in his daily driver civic as a test, he left his headlights on while at work one day and killed the battery, like it swole up and wouldnt hold a charge anymore kill, but thats a problem with all lipo batteries.

I have had a Deka ETX20L in my car since September 2012, including about 9 months sitting on the workbench after which it still started the car excellently.
It's tall enough to work ok with the stock tie down (with minor mods), and my local battery recycler gets ~$90 out the door for them.

Ballistic has the evo 3 line now, it would be good to find out what is inside the cases.
