I see a lot of strong recommendations for the Ohmmu 12V battery. It's a Lithium-based 12V replacement. Plenty of statements of this being a life-altering change to their vehicles, feeling lighter, etc.
But I'm not getting it. $720 (Canadian) off Amazon can pay for a lot of typical lead-acid battery replacements, certainly more than I'll need over the life of the car. And it only has a 4 year warranty. I've not exactly bought expensive lead-acid batteries but always had at least a full replacement 3 year warranty on them (and prorated after). What gives? If they're only warranted to last an extra year but cost 5x more, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Any insight, or is it just a novelty thing?
