Yes. A very good read. Thanks!
He didn't mention the Duracell AGM battery. If I had to guess, I'd think it's probably a re-badge of one of the batteries that he already covered.
It's not one of the lightweight batteries, but it is significantly lighter than the Optima yellow top that it replaced. (That thing was like an anvil.)
In any event... the Duracell has lasted two years, with my irregular driving habits, and is still going strong. This article provides some good information, going forward.

Sorry folks I didn't see the responses to mine. Here is a picture of my setup. Provides plenty of cranking power.

I know that Paul aka FieoGuru on Pennocks uses it on his LS4 motor as well with no problems.
 
Doing a link because I can not get the picture small enough:

Absolutely does. Have had this setup for 2 years now. Drove it from New Mexico to Michigan back to New Mexico in 2019 like this.

Couple places if you want the Dynabat. I am using the 5575A model. Comes with 1/O terminals that you need to crimp yourself. Should be noted that this battery does not have the same reserve as the bigger ones. Meaning you can't sit in your car listening to music and expect it to last long with the car not running.
