I'm about to build a battery out of SureFire 3600mah 18650 cells. I've built one using cells out of a dewalt 28v lithium battery that lasted me 3 years on my motorcycle before I overcharged and fried it on a rapid charger. Cost me $80 total with fancy connectors and oversized heat shrink. 3 years without using any sort of balance charging or protection. This one I'll be taking extra precautions especially not wanting to fry these expensive cells. CCA should be pretty decent.

I'm currently using an Interstate Green top, 5 years in and it still stronger than a new Panasonic OE battery. It's also about 25% bigger in every way than a standard battery. No fuss no muss tho.
