it might be worth a go but to be honest since the batterys are now more commonly silver calcium technology its unlikely.
worth a shout on older lead batterys though.

I've got an Odyssey red Gel battery which I keep in the garage for emergencies in the summer and under the passenger seat (along with jump leads) in the winter..... I think it would start a tank
