This! I ordered mine from Lowes: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Deka-12-Vol...ttery/50183743

Then I bought posts for it from amazon:

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!

Yeah but it costs 1/4 of the price of yours!

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.
