They seem to be the replacement battery of choice for the Miata (MX5).  As
the
Miata's battery is in the trunk they have a special need as to size and the
fact
that it is sealed. These batteries are know for their long life.  They are
about
$78.00, a little higher than conventional batteries.

Fellows,

Please note that not all Gelled Electrolyte batteries are suitable for this
type of use.  Your typical wheel chair or trollong motor battery cannot
handle the currents required of your starter and the internal heating can
cause the caps to pop off from the pressure.
The referenced battery is intended for this application and will work fine.
