I'm not sure I mentioned it in this thread, but I left my lights on in the garage and killed my Shorai LFX18A1-BS12 (270 CCA) battery a couple of months ago. I tried to revive it with a special lithium ion charger, but no luck. Then, I put the stock battery back in, but it died in the cold weather.

So I went ahead and ordered a new Shorai. The LFX19A4-BS12 (285 CCA) was on sale for $159, so I jumped on it. It's shorter than stock, but nothing the included spacers can't fix. And the width and depth are perfect in the RX3 battery box. It starts nice and strong too.

It has a real nice feature where the battery terminals are directly tapped for bolts ... so there's no tiny nut to lose or struggle to line up.
