I've had a sealed lead-acid MOTORCYCLE battery in the left rear
fenderwell of my Roadster for the last couple of years. No problems.
It cranks just like a big boy, but wouldn't have the energy capacity of
a series 24. So it would run down sooner if I left the lights on, for
example. It does crank the 2 liter just fine when the temp is in the
low 30s, though. It is about the size of a large book.
