You are right the Exide site is not easily navigated and there is no place to search for part number. However the spec sheets are now available on the FIRST docs and they published data on the ES battery so I would bet that is the one you could buy on the open market. My guess here is that the batteries provided in the kits are new product for Exide and we are the test market. If that is the case, they are going to want some feedback from users so keep a log of pros and cons with the new batteries.
