oh, and no tender nor block heater. I did use synthetic oil though.
PC925 would be my choice for DD battery though most opt for PC680 I like knowing I can start my car in the winter after sitting for a week or two.

I hope that's a Shorai battery. If that's so then you'll have one more potential RHD customer.
