I have been hearing conflicting opinions on these batteries. I spoke to another bloke at SSB that stated the LH14-BS is not suitable for car use. Anybody else had experience with these? Richard did you call your contact?

Yes I edited my post (4th post down) re my contact.  Spoken to him again since and he has been using it for nearly two years on his 5.7L VZ commodore with no problems.
 
I purchased the LH14-BS after speaking directly to Ashley at this URL

He assured me that the LH14-BS will have no problems being charged with a regular battery charger or Alternator charge.
 
It is now installed, now 9.2 kg lighter than old battery and so far is starting the engine much quicker.  Only time will tell if this will last the four to five years of the original calcium battery.

I've a mate that has made a couple of Lithium batteries using Headway Lithium cells (20Ah cells IIRC). They seem to be content with being charged by a standard car alternator. Surprisingly good durability, even after letting the test mule (Nissan NX) sit parked up for 3 months, it started first go.

I am hoping to install one before the Monday trackday. Fingers crossed it can be sent express from Sydney.
 
It will be a 20kg + weight saving for me.
