Lithium Ion batteries

Has anyone tried any of these batteries yet? http://www.batterystuff.com/powerspo...18A1-BS12.html
I was at my local dealer recently and they had these sitting out for display. They seemed like a pretty cool idea, and weigh almost nothing. But are they really worth twice the price???

It says at the bottom of their statement that they recommend usage at above 0* celsius. I wouldn't put one in my ride. Don't know how cold it could get while in storage.

Some of the beemer folks have tried it. If you live in Arizona, I guess it is ok. I'll stick with an AGM, which still costs a pretty penny.
