Did you get a Shorai? Did you put it on blocks to get the terminals at the top of the battery box?

That was a good question as I haven't looked at the battery in years.    I just took a look and it is a Ballistic brand. The battery has an odd shape with the case molded around the cells and is very red. It is sitting directly on the metal battery base and is wrapped in an old inner tube. The battery leads were both been replaced early on, of course.
