it honestly sounds cheaper and easier to sell the synapse and buy the smaller newer version for our cars.

why is this (i know all the safety reasons why)? why would you need it and i don't?

^ I think Dan is refering to his battery being in the trunk and him not needing a kill switch...

My guess would be since it was placed there by the manufacturer and not done after the fact, but what do i know.

that makes sense. I had no idea the X's came from the factory like that.

another better option is to duct tape the battery to the outer rear quarter panel

duct tape is also much lighter than bolts, so you are saving a considerable amount of weight.

I just got tires made of duct tape, superior grip compared to my Dunlops.

Well considering it is a battery, wouldn't you want to use electrical tape??

I'm just not into mini batteries. It's the last thing I need to cause a problem. And I don't want the small synapse because this one works perfect.
