Not used them in the wet.  Used the 02G versions on a xbow when it was below freezing out.  Wasn't great, but 360bhp through the rear did make my arse twitch a few times.

AKS custom fabricated battery tray.

To be powdercoated satin black, thin foam padding applied to let the battery sit nice and snug.  Bolts into place of the oem plastic tray.



Much safer and better looking than the self adhesive velcro (although was super strong wouldn't have been any good in an accident.) I was using.

Can't wait to see it fitted.  Fits the Tomika / Braille 5.5kg battery but Alex makes them to fit, Conan 'lucky Gti' is having one made for his odessey battery too
