exact same score in back to back tests with fully charged newish batts of both types! i prefer the northstar as it seems nicer to charge (personal opinion only!)

No good for Street though.

Some people have tested both and found the Powercell 0.1 or 0.2 higher, others have found the NSB better. Or as in Adams case, identical scores.

Either battery will be about the best you will get without going for a multicell type battery.

defj, look into Power Master D3100s.

They hold up just as good as NSB90s with bigger posts. Also you dont have to run 18v into them right before to get good output from it like the NSB90.

Try to get a Hawker Datasafe HX400 instead of Powercell [Smile] ........ HX400 is almost the same [Smile] (maybe more the same than u believe [Big Grin] ). Its even cheaper. Costs here about 230 Euro.

You dont have to with an NSB either, if you know what your doing.
