for several weeks at a time and found them to be very efficient. For a “Point A
to Point B” sort of car, I could see it, just not a

As I understand it, they store pretty well but ideally they are at about 70-80%

they will keep themselves warm if needed but that uses power. So if you have
winter, you need a garage, and maybe a heated one at that, or
There’s a guy in Orlando on FBM who sells a lot of parts, and he had a brand
new, still-in-the-crate, OE batteries for one of these a while back. I think he
