Tech Xplore - Ohm has worked up a drop-in replacement for car battery
https://m.techxplore.com/news/2015-08-ohm-drop-in-car-battery.html
Ohm has worked up a drop-in replacement for car battery. August 14, 2015 by Nancy Owano. The site says to "remove the positive and negative leads from your old battery, drop in Ohm, and reattach the lead to Ohm (red/positive lead first to prevent sparking).". Also, Ohm is "smart" enough to prevent accidental draining if the driver forgets to turn off the lights. It can automatically turn itself off when critically low and switch back on when the driver starts the car. Addressed the question of price....
