I'm sure that's nice for the Fusion dealer but
these seem to be similarly specified but with
higher allowable discharge current and similar internal protection circuitry.
The internal circuitry is designed to make the
battery "look" like a standard lead acid or gel
cell type and the EarthX brand is used in
Experimental homebuilts connected to the charging
system instead of a lead acid or gel cell. That
brand also can be used for engine starting. They
are available in Australia. There was a good
article in Kitplanes a while ago on the manufacture and testing of those.
As the battery "looks" like a standard lead acid
no mods to the aircraft charging circuit are
necessary and any good lead acid battery charger should work.
If you try to use an intelligent LiFePO4 charger
you may get a conflict between the battery
internal protection and the intelligent charger. See that.
It would be nice to know what exactly the
approval process for the Fusion brand involved.

These look good for avionics although you can't use them to start an engine.
