Price will come down just like on the motorcycle batteries eventually. The biggest issue is to warm them up before starting.

When their cold they lose starting amperage. Keeping them on a lithium charger can preclude it.
 
Cost is generally a indicator of quality. A full size Lithium replacement is warranted for cranking amperage.

Lithium batteries have difficulty during the colder months. They need to be warmed up to provide full cranking capability. This is why a lithium charger is a must have. You keep it plugged in and warm over night and you can get full amperage.

I ran them in most the motorcycles I’ve owned, and it’s par for the course for automobiles.👍🇺🇸
 
Look at the recent rash of electric car explosion in Florida after Ian. The lowest potential 12 volt battery is enough energy to blow your hand off. Crack the cell of a 12 volt Lithium battery containing more than 200 times that of a small 12 volt lithium battery and you have an explosion of a stick of dynamite.😳

Here’s a demonstration from a lithium batteries;

Stuff is explosive and mixed with water even more so. This is why it takes 10 times the amount of water to extinguish a lithium automotive fire and will burn up to 12 hours from ignition.👍🇺🇸
 
For those who are wondering what wire is being discussed, this is a photo of which to disconnect;👍🇺🇸

Not sure why you didn’t go with the full size Antigravity that fits the tray, there’s no need to modify it ?

These are direct drop in batteries. 5 lbs to 16.5 lbs. Yes, this battery cost is higher @ $659 - $829

H5/ GROUP 47. 1000-1500 cranking amps 👍🇺🇸

The ATX-20-HD/30 are motorcycle batteries.
