Default Columbia Par Car

I have a new street legal, 4 place Par Car, with the sealed batteries. Have had it for 4 months and love it. There is no smell when it is charging so there is no need to leave open the garage door for ventilation. These batteries are not a new thing, the military has used versions of them for quite a while. Yes, they are considerably more expensive but I expect that will drop as time goes by and more are in the market. Life expectancy is 4-5 years, not unlike standard batteries. Not having to deal with corrosion issues, filling and no odors is worth a lot to me.
