*Please note that because these batteries are not intended for use in cars, the original manufacturer's warranty is void. That being said, we fully support our customers, so please let me know if you are experiencing any problems.*
If you're a person that knows that lighter is better when it comes to cars, our battery package is perfect for you. You understand that reducing a car's weight improves all aspects of a car's performance. By reducing the weight in your car, it's like upgrading your engine, brakes, and suspension all at the same time because your car's acceleration, braking, and cornering are all improved from weight reduction. This simple modification allows for sharper steering response and improved turn in dynamics.
We've designed this battery tray specifically to bolt into your NSX without modifying your car. We package our trays with a Shorai LFX36L3-BS12 lithium iron battery which packs enough juice to start up even supercharged cars while maintaining an installed weight of only 6.75 pounds! The OEM spec battery weighs 30-50 pounds, which means you'd be dropping about 1% of the car's weight, which is a very significant reduction in weight from just one simple modification.
These batteries are perfect for a daily driven car. We've also seen cars sit for as long as 14 days and have them start up with no problems. We do recommend using a charger if your car sits for longer than 5 days at a time. The battery can be used on a regular battery tender as long as it does not have a desulfate mode. If you use a regular battery tender, use it just to charge the battery, do not let it sit on the tender for an extended period of time. If you are going to let the car sit for a longer period of time, it's recommended to purchase the Shorai dedicated charger. The Shorai dedicated charger is also best to revive an over-discharged battery.
Lithium iron technology is extremely safe and does not exhibit the flammable properties that lithium ion batteries have.
Not suitable for extreme cold weather, but we've tested it down to 15 degrees with no problems. If your car sees consistent temperatures any colder than that, this battery is not recommended.
All hardware and terminals are included for an easy bolt on install!
Estimated install time: 30 minutes

My company, Kinetic Custom Machine is a small machine shop in San Juan Capistrano, CA. We are just 2 people who are enthusiastic about our work, we both love cars, and have a mindset of lighter is better. You can read more about our machining escapades on our blog: www.kcmachine.com
I've personally had one of these batteries in my NSX for over a year now, and it has been great. With the NSX, the way the battery is situated, and with how heavy the OEM spec battery is (47 pounds), steering response and sharpness have been noticeably improved with the new setup. Also, including this battery mod, I have reduced my NSX's weight by about 180 pounds which is absolutely a perceptible change in overall driving performance. I recently went to the track with my NSX, and when carrying a passenger (which negates my weight reduction), the extra weight was incredibly apparent. I had to change my braking zones significantly while carrying a passenger.
Lithium Iron:
Please note that these batteries are lithium iron (LiFePO4), not lithium ion (LiCoO2). Lithium iron batteries are much safer than lithium ion, and they won't catch fire like lithium ion batteries can.
Lithium iron technology is great because it is very powerful, very light, and also very safe.
Also, here is a video of a lithium iron battery being shorted (and also shot with a gun):
Battery Tenders:
If you let your car sit for more than 5 days at a time, it is recommended to use a tender. These batteries can be used on normal battery tenders, as long as your battery tender DOES NOT have a desulfate mode. Battery tenders should only be used to charge the battery, do not let it sit for an extended period of time.
Shorai does make their own battery charger, which works very well, especially for over-discharged batteries. It is the only recommended way to bring a battery to life after being over-discharged, as it balances the cells internally. I offer these chargers very close to our cost at an additional $60.
Shipping Schedule:
The trays are made to order, and we will be taking batches to the anodizer on a monthly basis.
Finally, here is a video of a 22 foot drop test we conducted, which equates to about 22 mph. We wanted to ensure that our tray would be safe in a crash situation. The tray performed up to our expectations, not letting go of the battery, and deforming only very slightly.
