I had one in my Toyota truck once.

Lasted about the same as a regular battery.

Only had 36 month warranty.


Should have plenty of cranking power, I'm using a smallish lawn and garden battery in my 64 Valiant without any problems. (I think I can get away with it because when the car is off, it's OFF; there's no parasitic drain from clocks, computer, alarms, etc. that you have with more modern cars)
