Genesis and Odyssey lightweight batteries?

Anyone have any experience with one? Does your car start up fine? even if it's cold? Is it still OK if you leave the lights on or put it on accessory for awhile?

I got a 680T not MJ (metal jacket) here in Chicago and it is great. A 23lb weight savings. Joe (03blksete) has had one for awhile and he is either NY or NJ and he loves it

I also have the PC680MJT and so far no problems (knock on wood). One of my friends with an 01 AE just fried his alternator and was using the same battery, Im hoping it was just the age of the alternator. We have used it for the same exact amout of time and I have had 0 problems, I wouldn't recommend running accessories without the car running though. The reserve crank amps of the PC680MJT is half of the stock battery, but the cold crank amps are more .
