Anyone have any experience with batteries on EBAY

Just curious, since I had the familiar sticker shock of the yuasa prices, I typed in ST1300 battery and found several for just under 35 dollars, SHIPPED... all AGM gel, just like the yuasa supposedly. Well, I'm trying it- mine has been in my 05 since new and I'm now going to see if these cheapies work as well

I've use them for my generator and ham radios, but it doesn't see anywhere near the load usage it would on the ST.... Have one about 2 yrs old and its still fine. BTW, made in china.

BUT, I think I stick with the higher end units only cause I wouldn't want to get stuck on the road somewhere.
