Winter won't make any difference I don't think - the cranking current required won't change.

eSeM is one of the few I know who use one on a road car and I don't think he has many issues even as a weekend sort of car.

I would expect a Varley Red top to last at least 2 years on a car used as a daily driver.

I tend to change them when it they can no longer hold enough charge to start the car after 2-3 days.

At this time of year I will occasionally use a trickle charger when I know that I won't be using the car for a bit.

I use and odyssey PC680, it's awesome just don't leave your car stand for more than a few weeks because once you fully drain a drycell they are useless

If your really wanting to reduce weight it's a cheap way or reducing around 6kg some aftermarket parts don't have to that weight loss to £ ratio. Is it likely you make a difference on its own - no.
