Yeah, while it may work on a Honda Civic no problem (I have seen a lot of them run Braille) with FC's all I hear is that it doesnt have enough capacity for a daily driver, wont stay charged well, and will loose its charge if you dont drive the car often enough.

There was an article in Grassroots Motorsports where they used a smaller battery on the miata during auto-x, but ended up swapping it out for the stock one to drive around, which kind of ruins the advantage you will get by using it.

PS: I got an Optima Deep Cycle Yellow Top battery for my car. It's slightly smaller and slightly lighter, but not by much. So far this battery has been great to me, car never looses its charge, always cranks the starter in any weather, mounted in the stock location with 0% problems.
