Can the Deka use the factory tie downs, or do you need a different setup? The rennline battery mounts are expensive hunks of metal.
You are very welcome.

All the lightweight batteries need a custom tie down method to make sure they are secure. It's a pretty simple shop exercise if you are handy and know how to bend aluminum strapping or sheet material. I actually bought one that was prefabbed for the Odyessy for around $15 from Battery Mart but they no longer offer it. Putting a lightweight AGM or lithium in a standard battery box with foam to wedge it in also works pretty well. You want to make very certain it never moves around.
