Not seen one that flexible before. The one I was using looped out too much and the extra length was wound around the gear stick gaiter to hide it.

On the bathroom scales, the original battery is ~12kg, the new battery is ~14kg.
Key on, the Car booted up ok, the Dashboard gave full daylight Illumination, the Clock in the dash, we're still waiting.. (Edit, now fixed!)
Started up instantly, drove perfectly well up to the shops.
Return journey, NO dashboard illumination, so I selected the service menu.
I monitored the voltage for the trip home, lo14s all the way until turning right into my street, then 13s, hi 12s, then right into my driveway, mid 12s.
There were no 14.4V or 12.1V readings, the charging range has now closed up a little.
Conclusion: While a bigger battery is better, 58 vs 46AH, it has only made a small difference to my driving situation.
DO NOT rush out and buy one of these for your Gen4 Jimny, however when battery replacement time comes, please consider these more hi-tech batteries in the money part of the decision process!

I forgot to weigh the original battery yesterday when taking the photos.CC Baxter wrote: Looks good George, looks like it grew there.
The benefits may take a little while to show themselves. Chris

A little more information.
I was disappointed in the fact that the battery was not instantly compatible with the charging system after the car booted up.
After driving on Monday and Yesterday the battery resting voltage this afternoon is 12.87V.
While this is quite good, it is only 0.07V above the voltage out of the cardboard box, after spending 3 weeks in transit from Melbourne.
I have asked Suzuki to look into how to make the charging system recognise the EFB Battery and charge it appropriately. More later..
