I can help duplicate as well if someone can give me dimensions or let me borrow one.

Read up on their designs very, very carefully. I do not know anything about that brand, so they may be great. But a poorly design LiOn battery will turn your car into ashes if you are not careful. There is a reason they are not cheap if you buy a good one. Make sure they have good protection circuitry and that you charge them correctly if they go dead. We had to quickly (and dangerously I may add) remove a burning LiOn battery from an autox car so it would not burn the car to the ground at the start line a few years ago ... all due to it going dead and failing after it was charged. They self oxygenate.. meaning almost zero chance of putting them out once they start. Magnesium is similar if you ever played with that in chemistry

Again, they may be great, but just a warning to folks when looking for "affordable" LiOn car batteries. This one is fairly expensive (honestly, I would accept 5 more lbs for a $80 AGM battery myself) so maybe it is designed properly.

Is this specifically for the Shorai or similar size LiOn? If you decide to replicate can you post the size? I just bought a Dekka and wonder if it would fit that one? I'd like to get rid of my OEM tray.

For all interested in the Shorai battery bracket, I got a prototype, and am having a batch run this week.
PM me for details.

Here is a preview...
