No, I did that myself using an Odyssey PC680 Battery, the standard aluminum hold down box that Odyssey makes for it, some 1/0 gauge cable and various bits of hardware/insulation from the hardware store. I added my DIY for it onto Travisjb's DIY thread a long time ago.
It could stand a couple of minor updates as I've improved the system over time. Since those pics were taken, I drilled another small grommeted hole near the battery and ran my trickle-charger connector through so that I can hook it up from the outside, and I also moved the LCB-200 breaker (discussed later in the thread) off the top of the battery box and down to the trunk floor. The reason is if I tossed anything heavy into the trunk (on the unsupported carpet + carboard stuff), the upper trunk floor would dip under the weight and push my breaker disconnect button 
I've always meant to eventually do something custom for my trunk floor, but never got around to figuring out what. I'd like to leave out the stock false floor and just have some kind of minimal plastic cover for the battery/breaker/ground to keep things from knocking into the connectors or shorting them, and free up all that depth for storage.
