I have only had the Shorai on the car for about 6-7 weeks now. I have been impressed with it so far. In that time, it has been consistently between 20
°F - 40
°F outside. I drive the car every 2-3 days and it has started right up no problem every time. I was nervous because many people have issues with lightweight batteries and cold weather, but the Shorai seems to be handling the cold just fine.
It will be hard to track down a KMC battery tray because they have been discontinued for a while. You will have to keep your eyes peeled for a used one to pop up.
You should check out the Antigravity ATX20 Re-Start and the MeLe mount. It is probably a better setup than the Shorai/KMC. The ATX20/MeLe combo is a pound or so lighter and the battery has the emergency re-start feature. If I had not already had the KMC mount on-hand, I would have gone for the ATX20 Re-Start/Mele setup.
