Tried the battery yesterday and it did not work.
poo!
The reason for that is that it is a deep discharge battery for stuff like electric bikes, wheelchairs etc. NOT a car or bike battery, the advert is cr*p as they don't explain that, I would imagine they would p*ss a lot of people offpoo!
What you want are the proper Li Ion batteries designed to replace car/bike batteries, see HERE for the sort of thing you need. They have much lower capacity than lead acid, but much higher cold cranking amps, once started your alternator should be coping with any loads on the electrical system, not the battery
For those wanting to do it on the cheap... I've just had this one off ebay. Less than 800g and works a treat on my Duratec.
