Btw, I had to replace my Shorai battery. It was not holding it's charge for more than 10 hours. I constantly had it on the Shorai battery tender. It would stop charging once it reached a certain voltage which became less and less over time. Turns out one cell was dead so Shorai had to discard the battery because it could not be reconditioned.
Anyway, Shorai didn't have to honor the warranty because I was using it in a capacity that the battery wasn't necessarily intended for. But the tech (Shawn) understood and stated the battery was capable in my application and honored the warranty at 50% of MSRP.
What I did wrong: In the beginning I would hook the battery up to the Shorai tender in store mode which is fine but because of the parasitic draw found in newer vehicles, I should have added a kill switch or disconnected the ground. I started to do that after the battery was already damaged. Also, I should have taken out the battery when storing for long periods of time during the Texas heat... my garage will get very hot... continued exposure to high heat zaps the batteries integrity and performance.
So now I'll place the battery on the tender in the house. My 86 is not a daily driver so this will not be a problem for me.
