Default which battery relocation kit?

I am looking to order a relocation kit pretty quick here, I just want to make sure I get the right one. I found this one on BP, is there any comments on it?

honestly i'd look into making your own. find just a box somewhere, and wire it yourself. end up being cheaper.
you should be using 0gauge wire, thin strand, like you would for a car audio system.
that kit uses 2 gauge wiring, probably thick strand.

they're universal for the most part, unless you're running an uncommon battery size they'll fit.

welding wire works great because its made for high amps and any air tight box will work
