Who in here has one? I know Mike has had trouble with his. Anyone else have problems?

Where are these purchased and for how much? How much do they weigh?

Over a year daily driving, 5 track days. Never once been charged or failed to crank the engine--including in temps below freezing. However, when I lived only about a mile from work I found it took more juice out of it to start the engine than was charged back into it in the short trip. So I'd "take the long way home" once every other week or so. Now that I live about three miles away that isn't a problem anymore. Other than that, no problems.

After hearing about Mike's problems, I did suspect it of causing my high RPM miss somehow but we put jumpers to a real battery on the dyno and it made no difference.
