[s-cars] Type 41

[Tom Green]

Hey Bob,

If you are staying with a liquid electrolyte battery, you will need a  
vented battery and periodic
inspection of the installation.  There are AGM batteries like the  
Odyssey that recombine the
hydrogen and do not vent except under the most adverse conditions of  
extreme overcharging.
I left off the Optima since it can not be secured in the battery  
clamp.  The downside to the AGM
battery is cost- ~$225 for an adequate size Odyssey for the S6.
