[QUOTE="PiSCaRGoT, post: 585807, member: 23599"] Quick update, so far the battery has been performing great. Engine cranks are quick and certain, and accessories like the roof mechanism works perfectly without the engine switched on. Had the radio on for an hour+ and it still had plenty of juice in it. It charges very quick from different reviews I foun on the internet, so I shouldn't be too worried for short distance driving (which I do relatively a lot of). Butt dyno confirms minor improvement on acceleration off the line, and also in handling nimbleness. Not stellar differences, but definitely difference that you can feel from the driver's perspective. My KW V2 did increase in height slightly, so I would have to lower it again to balance the car out on the rear right side. Fuel consumption is actually worse (!) but I think its because I've been whacking the car non stop haha. :P Will try to get a comparison for normal driving in the next tankfull of petrol. Will open up everything again next week to see how the battery ghetto mount is holding up. [/QUOTE]
