Very interested in this kit too.

interested to find out what other modifications will be needed, or would it simply be plug and play

I am pretty certain that no modification would be necessary to install our kit into a RHD vehicle!

To be 100%, if you could remove your current battery and take a pic of the battery tray area, I can tell just from the pic.

@KCMachine: This is so tempting. Do you allow local pick-up? I'm very close to San Juan Capistrano.

Absolutely, I'll be delivering a package to a customer at the weekly 86 meet once they are all ready.

Just order. Can't wait to receive it!

What kind of warranty do you get on the battery and if there is one do you cover warranty replacement?

The batteries themselves have a 3 year warranty, but since they are used in cars (these are technically large motorcycle batteries), the warranty is different. I've spoken to Shorai and warranty claims will be taken on a case by case basis, for instance, if the batteries have a blatant manufacturer defect, then it is clearly on them. But, if you over-discharge the battery, then it is the fault of the user. I bring this last part up because I've heard of Shorai offering no-questions-asked warranty replacements on motorcycle batteries, even if they've been improperly over-discharged.

Thanks for the orders!

We took a batch of trays to the anodizer last week. Unfortunately due to the Thanksgiving weekend they'll be delayed by a little bit. But we will soon have them in stock and ready to ship!

I'm interested in getting in on this. But my car is RHD and I'd need the battery with the terminals the other way around. Is this an option?

Feel free to PM me.

Thanks!

Awesome, it definitely is an option, I'll update the website to reflect that on Monday.

Thanks. If you can PM a price including shipping to Christchurch, New Zealand. Cheers.

It says Pre-Order on your website, are these ready to be shipped or not officially released yet??

xDanger_208x 12-02-2013 11:25 AM

I'll take one!

Can I get the postal code please? Also, I'm getting a reversed polarity battery in, once that happens I'll be able to take photos for the website and update it. I was thinking about just pshopping the photos I have up already, but decided against it.

We are waiting for our batch to get anodized. Unfortunately due to the holidays, it got a bit delayed. I am expecting to have them back at the end of the week.
