    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

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    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?
