Good info, thanks for the update.

I guess I didn't look hard enough at the design of the bottom plate when I picked up the first battery, and will use the longer H6 next time. Don't think it makes too much difference for my needs, to be honest - with the new H5 battery I've never had a problem with starting the car. The car will drain it down eventually, if I leave it stored for an extended period without a float charger on it.
