I went with the Deka Sports Power ETX-16 with Odyssey SAE Terminals. I figured this will be the right choice for what I use the car for: daily, autox, and track. I drive in temperatures ranging from 0 to 110 degrees F.

I need to find a smaller tie down.

let's see I took that photo about august 2015, so that's about 2.75 years right?

I'm pretty sure that thing is composed of a whole bunch of 18650 LiPO4 Cells soldered together in series and parallel. So, if and when it dies, I'll crack that sucker open and replace the bad cells!

Default WTB: Kinetic Custom Machine battery tray

Anyone willing to find or sell me a Kinetic Custom Machine battery tray? I can't locate one for sale new or used. I would be willing to pay someone to find me one. It's best mounting solution I've seen for the Shorai battery. Appreciate any help.

I have one, and was considering having it duplicated since they folded up shop.
