I reckon you're thinking of gel SLA types. Not used on cars.

But if you needed a special charger, you'd also need a special
alternator.

Actually, just a special regulator.
Calcium alloyed batteries do have a slightly different charged
voltage.

But then there would be problems if a normal lead acid battery was
fitted, are you saying that lead acid batteries can't be fitted to
vehicles that had calcium batteries from the factory or are you just
a worthless ignorant fool who believes marketing blurb?....
