Battery still works great. No issue. I actually took a break from the car and it sat for 2 months and car started up just fine.


Hope that helps. My friend was at sema and antigravity came out with new stuff directed to automotive and higher capacity batteries.

Well, I have the Rs-30 but to date it still works flawless. It's hit in the low 30's an one night in the high 20's and no issues. So far I have had zero issues with this guy since my ownership.

By far one of the best upgrades I've ever done, from an ease of install, disconnecting the battery use and performance gain this really has been a pleasure. I will be only using one of these going forward!

Also worth a note, the car has been sitting from March till October, fired right on.

Reading about you guys' Lithium replacement makes me realize I've been an idiot replacing my lead batteri twice over the years. I understand the theoretical benefits but it was only after I got Lithium in my boat that I fully realized how powerful the technology really is.
Except for weight, crazy fast charging and high voltage during load, it seems sometimes the capacity is forgotten. I.e. while a lead battery only delivers 50% isch of its Ah juice the Lithium keps deliver after 80% and more. As an example my boat had 8pc (!) 90Ah lead before (high capacity to force higher charge current really), replaced by 2pc 90Ah Li.
Next battery replacement in my M3 I'm in!

good to see the thread still going, I'll be hitting 6 years with this set up. it has lasted as long or longer than a normal battery.

super happy with it and will continue with it, if eventually it’s tired and needs a refresh I’ll purchase another. But still cranks hard.

I've had an Antigravity battery in my Ducati for almost 3 years. Weight savings were 6-7lbs over a normal battery.

I'm coming up on 8 years with a 7lb LiFePo battery in the car and it just works. Unless it's super cold. Then it's not happy.

I've noticed that you can but these direct from the manufacturer for around $240. Looks like you can contact them if you need to add a self warming feature for arctic starts. This one weights in at 13lb or 2.2kg.

I purchased a cheaper one last year that matched other vendor's specs - except for the most important one which was cranking amps. So I have a very nice bench battery and a 12v source in a power outage. But for my other fellow bargain hunters, make sure what you buy has a rating for 800 CCA or higher.

I personally would stick with Antigravity.
US made and built in BMS. I have a hard time trusting cheaper Chinese Lithium battery. Just in the case of fire.

I didn’t realize the Antigravity was made in the US. Agree there’s an important safety factor there.
