You can find them around 140-160 depending on where you shop.

 

Any updates on the battery?

 

Battery is still running good. Car doesn't move much since I'm having tuning problems. I did have to use a jump box once cause the car was being started over and over without it being driven but since I let it idle for a bit while messing with the EMS, it starts no problem. So far, I'm still pretty impressed.

 

could ypu please let me know where does the eps white red and black wire connector goes? when resting the eps box into the old battery holes?

I may swapped them and on the ap1 they can be interchangable

thanks

 

The ap1 and ap2 both have the same connectors but they are reversed if I remember correctly. Just swap the plugs if you have an EPS light on.

 

This was a clean install, but why would you do it? You just moved three measly pounds back about two feet in the chassis, but you moved it UP about two feet and probably added six pounds of wire. You would have been better off leaving it in the stock location, where it is significantly lower and has less total system weight. Not to mention these batteries need to be on tenders if they sit for longer than a few days. It's easier to install a semi-permanent tender with an AC plug in the stock location and just crack the hood to plug in an extension cord than it is to have to leave a window down to plug in a tender in the cabin.

I have the Shorai and my install consisted of padding the stock tie-down with the included foam and strapping on a Harbor Freight tender. Done!

 

Yeah Redline, why did you go to all that trouble? When you could have just done what he said^^^

 

because turbo

 

Thanks for the compliment. Bazurk hit the nail on the head. It's not ideal to have the battery in that location with a sidewinder turbo manifold. Granted you could heat shield the hell out of the battery, I prefer to just move it. Now that I'm running a Ptuning kit, I could do my battery that way without moving anything but no reason to undo what is done, plus LifePO4 batteries do not like being exposed to extreme heat. NA may be alright, but I feel the life of a lithium battery would be greatly decreased in the engine bay of a turbocharged s2000. I never did this for weight savings either as I'm adding 50+ pounds of turbo components up front anyway lol. I had no problem using my battery charger with the battery in this location but your idea of installing the charger in the car is a good one. I would do this but I'm no longer using the Ballistic battery that requires a special charger.
