I have a 3D printer and will be happy to work with you in creating a custom battery case per your specifications. I'll charge $40 to design and print the custom battery case and $20 for labor to assemble the custom pack, plus cost for parts/shipping... you have the choice to buy and assemble or get a turn key solution based on how much you are willing to spend.

Most people will buy a battery that fits their space, and then design a battery tray instead which will be far less expensive, I can work with you in creating a custom tray as well, same $40 to design/print the tray to your specs.

Another option is to buy a Touring Car battery strap system and use that method to mount your pack
i don't need a custom tray since the car already has a tray for the battery

what do you mean by custom case? just need a shrinked wrapped battery

so basically a 6 cell hump (so 4 cells bottom with 2 stacked on top) becuase if i was to buy a new battery from LHS they won't fit because of the plastic end caps
