they would probably work ok for a few hundred amps at a time, but if you pulled what they are capable of they would probably melt the terminals...they are designed for 2-300 amps for hours, not 5000 amps for seconds.

I had 4 of those batteries (train batteries) 2 years ago. They weighed 350lbs. ea. They sat at 17.4 but would drop drastically to around 15.4 on a burp.
I'm thinking about bringing them back for bass race because of the reserve compacity.
