In the experimental environment for the average low tech, low power (but also low temp winters) requirements (Rotax 912S 100hp), is the extra expense of the RG batteries worth it?

I once put an Odyssey 680 in a Mazda 13b aircraft replacing a cheap utility battery and wasn't all that impressed with cranking capacity and shelf life.
When a friend wanted to order a larger RG for his 210 the local flying club maintenance guy said they tried them in their school aircraft and also didn't stay with them.
What is the data on these batteries?
Is "Immobilized electrolyte" the same as Recombinant gas?
Thanks
Peter

Peter,

I'm using a Odyssey 680 for my 912ULS and am quite pleased with it. I have been flying up to the middle of January, now I am snowed in.
