The Braille I25X. This will be my next battery or something like it. On my third Optima in 6 years. They fail at the 3 year warranty mark. As they approach critical mass, they do start to spit acid from the 2 ports. Yes there is local paint damage. As these batteries use to last for a long time, It seem they are now engineered to fail at there warranty point. My car /battery is always on a tender when the car is parked. Optima's are junk.

Are the lithium batteries AGM style or wet cell?

Lithium-ion batteries are dry just like phone batteries. You could also consider Antigravity Batteries out of Los Angeles, CA. They make Lithium car batteries with remote activiated jump starting feature that's really cool. Their Group 35/Q85 has the same dimensons as Group 25 batteries.
