    the specs look pretty impressive but the price tag is pretty high. I ordered one today from one of their local dealers here in san diego. I was able to get a price break due to my company having a account with them.

    Made in the usa, 4 Full year warranty direct fit in the stock locations for trucks that came with the 27f stock... I guess I'll find out monday when I pick it up

    No problems so far , I haven't had it for too long though , fit fine in the stock spot , the stock hold down just has to go through the battery handle to seat into the indent on the top of the battery

    I'm mostly on the fence about being stranded if something happens and this battery dies. Yes they have a four year warranty but I'm guessing you have to send it off or find a dealer/distributer. My original plan was to get something like this Advance Auto Platinum AGM 24f, 710CCA, 145RC, 3year warranty. There are Advance Autos basically in every town.

    did you read the warranty on this?

    sometimes these companies offer a free rescue if your battery dies

    the deep cycle im running will jump start me for free if my battery dies within the warranty period :D
