Hi Hunter. Do you all plan to offer the battery in a minimal form factor (without the group 35 adapter)? I currently am running one of the Shorai LiFePo4 batteries in my track car. I really love the small size and weight, and would be willing to work around the smaller form factor.

Yes, it will be available in a smaller form factor. The core of the device will be a single modular design that will be inserted in the shell shown to give it the Group 35 size. Thanks for the kind words!

Would the output of the capacitors have to change for different applications, requiring different base models; for use in motorcycles, for example?

Nope! It could be the exact same internals. We'd just need to repackage it. The voltage on the capacitors is determined by the systems charging them. As long as its below the absolute rating for the caps, it will work. I believe most motorcycles actually operate at the same voltages as cars, though I could be mistaken.
