If a recombinant gas (RG, AGM) battery is used, besides being much
lighter, they require no sealed, vented compartment.  Merely a solid
hold-down arrangement, so they don't come undone in severe turbulence,
etc., and short out, become disconnected, or crack open.  They also
can make up for the starting punch lost in the long cable runs.
