I put a powersports battery in my sti a while ago. It lasted about a year and didn't cost me too much. I did have it hooked up to a battery tender.

I think I bought it because of the name.

You are thinking about very different things. Shorai are a newer lithium iron type battery. Not a variant of lead acid. My battery was made in China with Japanese oversight.

Update...battery is working just fine. Had a few 40 degree mornings lately. Cranks up without a hiccup.
