I stopped after one. Paid $130, lasted 3 years, what's the point (it was in my daily driver Impala SS)? I can get an Autozone $60 battery that lasts longer, actully fits and it weighs less!

Interesting, makes sense. We never had combustion in the lab, didn't have the heating effect, might explain why we didn't see the effect. I wonder what the difference in arc-over voltage is?
