The width of the DEKA 16L happens to be the exact depth of the stock battery tray you have in your car. Drill a couple of holes to mount your battery hold downs and its perfect. You could then cut the battery tray in half and its a pretty much free mini battery tray.
Below is a picture I took when I was putting in my catch cans, that is a DEKA ETX16L in the stock battery tray.

Search Miata battery or Honda battery or Civic Battery on here
All can be found at you local auto store with a warranty esp the honda ones and they fit some short route UICP esp the miata one. I actually settled on a honda batt with an aem intake and heat shield plus a muse short route UICP

How much does the stock Civic/Miata battery weigh?

10-15 lbs lighter than stock (search and you'll find the info)
Honestly most have to come to the realization that an additional 10 lbs of weight loss more than the civic or miata battery is just not worth the headache of mini batteries, I mean c'mon are you going to feel that extra .001 to 60mph with a mini batt vs stock or vs miata/honda batt....no
This is a honda batt with a custom tray but you can modify the stock one with tiedowns. Mine fits with the aem intake, heat shield, muse uicp

Just FYI this is actually not true. Think of your battery similar to a surge tank for fuel, its still a energy storage reserve for what the alternator can not give at a single instant... reason why large stereo systems have extra batteries, capacitors etc (and even alternators to refill those reserves).... its the same reasoning, how much you need will vary of course.
