How do these new batteries hold together under vibration, abuse on hard launches, etc.???

Can't say from experience Dave, but what I understand from Nathan at XSPower is that their AGM batteries, as well as the newer line of lithium cells are made for racing applications. When I talked to him last about two years back the lithium cells along with their special charger were quite expensive, like in the $2000+ range. You might give Nathan a call - 888 497-7693

I've looked at them, ads all say they're bulletproof---even has one that is the dual voltage (16v and 12v) complete with charger, but yeah, about $2k---wondering if the street units can take the pounding of occasional track time?
