I haven't used it yet because I'm still putting my car back together, but I did make the tray for it. I painted it black since taking the picture.

I've been running the Deka since April and am completely satisfied. The longest I've had my Evo sit without starting was a full week. The battery was a little low and it was slower to turn over than usual but it did start up just fine. I do have a car computer and suspect that it sips a tiny bit of power even when off. I'll have to remember to physically pull the power cable to it next time the Evo has to sit for a while.

Also, you guys do have to realize that with any small battery, you have less battery capacity so listening to the radio with the engine off for an extended amount of time could drain it to the point that starting the engine may not be possible. So, no triple features at the drive in movie theatre if you can find one.

^ I've sat through a double feature at a drive-in with a mini battery and it was still able to start up.

If my car sits for longer than 3 days, I usually run a trickle charger on it the night before I drive it again just to make sure I will have all the juice I need - learned this lesson the hard way.

Do yall think this will clear the short route UICP?

My battery died so I stole the battery out of my our Integra that's parked for now,
cut up the stock tray (trims the rised area's where the battery would sit, and drilled a couple holes for the tie down (had to cut one of the tie downs as it was too tall))
