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.

Thanks Bob,
On recommendations of other listers, and the fact that they are the exact
correct size for my application, I ordered one today from Moss UK, and they
are 'only' charging (ha ha) 94 GBP (150 USD) for one of these batteries,
which they sell as an MX5 battery.
Thanks again.
Léon
