Very expensive for capacity, as they are aimed at a certain market.
The non spillable type are SLA (sealed lead acid) or AGM (absorbed glass mat) types. I have a couple of those too, they were the kind used in industrial UPS to provide the DC float to invertors before the generator fires up. 20 years old now so capacity not what they used to be.
To be honest though, you need to be driving like Ken Block or have a trapezium shaped boot floor to tip a decent size wet 12V battery over!
