Give you ideas to making a mount, you can use factory tie down no problem.
you do not need the shorai tender go buy the harbor freight tender for like 6$ with a coupon it charges at a low trickle does the same thing for fraction of the price.

I have had the battery for about a year now, used it all winter. if i know i am going more then 3 days with out driving ill unplug the battery, if i go a few days without driving and then find out i am going a few more like when it snowed all of a sudden, then i unplug put it on the trickle charger for a bit then hook back up once i am ready to use it.
I have also started my car 5 times in a row without driving or hardly idling with out any hesitation. The main issue is when your car has a slight draw of power even when turned off it will slowly drain it like an alarm system or maybe some remote start systems, the shorai doesn't hold a lot of reserve power. i try not to do short trips, but really if you did 3 - 5 minute trips in 1 or 2 days and then 1 - 15+ minute trip to recharge it should be fine, or if i know im not driving for a few days ill make sure to drive 15+ minutes before parking my car. A few minor things to consider but nothing that is really too much of a nuisance. The longer you have it and the more you "test its limits" the more you start to trust it and not worry so much.
