12V Lithium Starter battery from A123

Might be a long lasting replacement for the Model S 12V battery. http://www.a123systems.com/lithium-starter-battery.htm

Is it different from the other Li-Starter batteries on the market?

will this fit in the MS? direct replacement of lead acid 12v battery? Any idea on costs?

Seems to have better low temp operation than some I've seen.

Don't know, but they list the dimensions, 278 x 175 x 190 mm
