I remember someone was planning to test the genesis batteries (ages ago) and was wondering how they performed?

Tried search thread with no luck other than @fenton and @DC2R playing with other road users

I've always wondered this as well. Is there nothing to be gained from using a better (higher amp-capacity) batteries than the basic AGM battery. There seems to be a sizable voltage drop when the system is activated and I've discussed this my electric engineer co-workers and they said they would use ultra-capacitor "batteries". I know it adds cost but it could be very innovative.
