[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1426641, member: 118"] Thanks for posting up Rich. For those unaware, RichDoyle had spoken well of the EarthX on one of the other forums and is one of the reasons I got the EarthX. I just read some PMs from him that answered my questions to him. He pretty much posted the content above. But Rich you are incorrect about using the relocation bracket on the negative terminal. That bracket has a threaded hole to accept the bolt for the negative terminal. If you put the negative terminal below the adapter bracket then you would negate the purpose/intent of the threaded hole and would have to put a nut below that. Another major PITA imho in a limited work space area. I am not crazy about modifying the FJR's negative terminal. For many perhaps not a big deal, but I don't want to do it and don't think I should have to. This is a battery. It should be a plug-n-play easy-peasy swap. Especially for the price. Like the Shorai was. And like the Anti-Gravity battery will be. So yes, I will be returning the EarthX and buying the Anti-Gravity. Just a few more $$$, but still comes with a battery maintainer system and even has the nifty re-start function in case you over discharge your battery. One other thing, Rich you mention being able to use the Battery Tender Jr. which is true, but it won't work if you over discharge the EarthX. According to their website if it goes into over discharge protection mode, you need one of the fancy Lithium battery chargers to get it out of it. [/QUOTE]
