Ed, thanks for the awesome writeup and photos!
We did a 10 foot drop which the original design passed fine, but when we did the 20 foot drop, the threads in one of the standoffs sheered and let the battery go. We have since done a redesign which easily passed the 20 foot drop test and have started the production of the new standoffs which we will be providing our customers free of charge. A 20 foot drop is a bit over 20 mph. Here's the video:

This is the tray after the drop

Thanks Dave, not entirely sure on an ETA, although you'll get them soon since yours aren't anodized.
I've actually been really interested in what happens to an OEM battery in a crash situation. Also, I'd like to see some other battery trays put to the same test

Doubtful, as it'd probably be really messy.
Yes, the charger/tender is additional.
at 20 mph our nose will almost be into the battery already wouldnt it
In like Flynn. Payment sent. Thanks Colin! 
Colin, Paypal sent. Plz confirm.
Hi, do you have any mounts and batterys in stock, looks like my factory battery is starting ti fail. Frank
Hi Frank, we are getting the black ones back from the anodizer I'd say early next week, and have the silver versions in stock currently. The batteries we keep low in stock because it's a big financial burden to keep a big inventory, but they arrive from Shorai within a couple of days of ordering. Currently the inventory is reserved for the remaining group buy participants.
We're keeping the Prime group buy price of $380, but shipping won't be included, which is about $25 to the East Coast.

Colin,
Great job! I installed mine this weekend and the design/ manufacturing is top notch.
I've now got Shorai batteries in my 900RR, NSX, ATV and Simplicity riding mower.
These batteries are fantastic and so is the tray!

Hi everyone,
has anyone had any experience jumpstarting this battery after it has fully drained? Is there anything special I should know or is it just like jumpstarting any other battery..? I was away on a business trip for 20+ days, and unfortunately my housemate accidentally unplugged my battery tender, so it died while I was gone...I tried scrolling through these 8 pages and didn't see this question asked, but I apologize if I missed it..

Going to relay the PM I sent to you since everyone should know:
Try using your charger first before jump starting it, but yes it should be fine being jump started. I had another customer fully discharge his battery and used the charger to revive it. It just took a long ass time (8 hours).
thanks for the response....FYI in case anyone else has this question, this weekend I was able to jump start the NSX with my other car just like any other battery, so that was a relief. thanks again for the great product!
Will you offereing a group buy again soon? I need to replace my battery and I like this idea.
