I have a less powerful version of this in my Miata track car

Summit sells them
there are 300, 360, 480 CCA versions
Deltran says to use their Junior charger or the newer "high efficiency" one
my 300 CCA version weighs 1.6 pounds, saving over 20# off stock AGM battery
could use two of them in parallel for a vette and be less than 5 #

My question/concern about these batteries is the max charging rate (10A according to the link), and what durability issues that may happen when a high amperage automotive alternator is used to charge these things.

That is true indeed, but I've seen some half assed setups where the battery rubs on the mount, yanks on cables, or other equally bad things. The Braille box really secures the battery in a way where you don't need to worry about any of that.
