That's actually good to know. Since I didn't buy it firsthand I didn't really know the rules/capabilities so it worried me. The one I got secondhand with the car when I bought it was very small in CCA and I was more worried that I would be stuck somewhere in the rare instances where I drive the car outside my motorsports hobby.

Only catastrophic failure I'm aware of was just twice the size it should have been, no fire.
My first one just stopped reporting voltage anywhere. Size was normal, but it had been showing up after a drive and making the shorai tender unhappy... Unbalanced I think. Did that for a year or two before failing though.
