i've always wondered the same thing... they seem solid.. as long as you get a warranty

i was thinking of trying them until i can get better ones just throw 2 in the trunk and should do okay on a 200 amp alt and 3k watts i think

they really shouldnt be inside the car or in a trunk, they can build up gas, not for me

im pretty sure marine batteries vent too, also you have to watch out for acid leaking out of the caps when you hit bumps and go around turns. A sealed battery is just the best choice, some people run wet cells in their cars but I wouldnt.

i believe they are sealed arent they i thought deepcycle were all sealed

 

[jdawg 5,000+ posts]

deepcycle you can pry the caps off and add water, IMO thats no sealed.

Most people get a year out of them and a vast majority actually have to use the warranty on them or run about more of them to do the samething kinetik, powermaster, deka or oddyssey would do.

I used to run marine batteries in the toolbox of my truck. They worked great. The terminals started to corrode after @6 months though. Not really a big deal, but tough to clean up when they are surrounded by carpeted trim panels. I have seen them in trunks for decades. My neighber in california had an old school impala with hydraulics that ran @6 big deep cycles in the trunk with no issues.
