9-5 battery life is pretty short as it is, and we are known to have trouble with loose/corroding cables as well. You can't run the battery cover (heat shield) and your cables are stretched putting extra stress on the ends. I also see that the battery hold down barely catches the edge of the battery. It probably wouldn't pass our local safety inspection that way. I think it needs some revision.
