If you don't mind hooking it up to a trickle charger when it's parked you are fine. I would've kept that up but I accidentally hooked mine up backwards when it was out of the car and fried it.

Good idea. How about a Google Doc with some defined columns where folk's can input their data, and that can be summarized in a thread?
Columns (please feel free to add): Battery Name Battery Type (Li, etc.) CCA Weight Needs daily driving (or trickle) Y/N ???? |

Average time between drives or charges that car started reliably? Longest time between use without drive/charge that car started reliably?

There may be issues with installing a Litium Ion battery in our cars.
I saw this in the September issue of Road & Track: http://www.roadandtrack.com/auto-new...st-for-hybrids

I got the O'Reilly because I figured that next time around lithium should cost half as much. Or at least I'm hoping it's significantly cheaper.

Update, I've had my Deka 11.5lbs battery for exactly a year now, with no big issues. I let my car sit at the airport for about 5 days in cold weather, and it cranked a little slow, but fired up on the first try

Battery just arrived.
These things sure are small. I knew the dimensions when I ordered but when you open the box...... Damn!
