BUYER BEWARE 2026 UPDATE: this battery has a design flaw that I missed in the video entirely. The main positive terminal is connected to the pack below with a bolt and nut. There is plastic between these. Once the plastic melts the company claims that it's supposed to disconnect, but what happens instead is it heats up even more. Terrible design and people are not getting their money back when they file a warranty claim. Do you not buy this battery!

Feb Update: It is even worse than I thought! There are even MORE issues I am finding with this battery. Do NOT buy this battery! Check out the videos I just posted.
