I have four of them. They spin the starter with great enthusiasm. I'm sold on LiFePO4.

I think he was poking fun at the size of your URL. Here with the URL encoding removed: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202968319079

Congratulations that it was a battery and nothing more serious, or difficult to figure out!

Funny story, just this weekend I went to pull a vehicle out of the garage to do something. I keep it on a battery tender and of course the light was green, good to go... So I turned the key and got the immediate "pop" sound that the battery decided to just end it's own life. And that was it, no warning, all circuits dark and dead. This happens in the west desert due to the heat, and happened once before to me in Phoenix with a different vehicle. And this year's been hotter than normal. I was pissed as I was thinking I just put a new battery in this car. Well, when I looked at the records, it was actually over five years ago - so it just died. Am trying a new Optima AGM in it this time, hopefully good for the next five years, although after I ordered it I read conflicting reviews on longevity..

Battery Tenders do a good job, but are not barometers of the battery's real condition. Regular preventive replacement is the best plan.
