sadly, it barely started. And i mean barely. when i did try to start the car, low charge light came one for a second and it hesitated badly.

I also sat in the car for 20 minutes while someone was coding my car, it barely started that time too and had the charge light come up. Dealership found nothing wrong with my battery.
Thanks for sharing this... sounds like it doesn't last long. My dealer too said battery was fine.

I've been thinking about going with a lighter weight battery but sounds like not the best idea unless you want to plug it into a maintainer every night.
