Thought I would weigh-in on my experience with Antigravity. Would not recommend.
Cranked the GTR great, and would drive around town fine.
Once I put the car on the track, it was not happy. Lots of error codes:
P1550 - Battery Current Sensor
C1109 - ABS actuator and control unit power supply voltage
C1145 - Yaw rate sensor malfunctioning
Car actually shut down during a lap and had to get towed off. Drove to AutoZone, bought a standard lead acid battery and finished my weekend.
Yes, it was kept on the tender. Yes, the connections were solid. Would have kept quiet and moved on to another lithium ion brand (which I have and zero issues), but Antigravity’s support was bad enough to share my experience.
In short, zero help with logistics of shipping it back and more importantly despite their website and warranty form stating they offer a refund, they don’t. Best they will do is ship you a replacement.
Didn’t want a replacement given my experience, thankfully the shop I bought it from took the replacement into inventory and the shop refunded me.
Stay away.
I'm in the market for a new battery. What battery brand worked for you?
Thank you for your honest review, will not buy this for my hawkeye sti
Purchased an H5 for my Lotus Esprit V8 a couple months ago. Works and fits perfect. I also like the Bluetooth battery status app for my cellphone. It works good, and is a nice touch.
I switched to 1800 CCA it was a very tight fit.I' ll see how good 👍 this battery works. Thanks for the info.
I saw this at SEMA. I appreciate thus knowledge; and I just placed my order.
I would have thought after years of the batteries being out in the market, would have made them cheaper.. but $950 is a bit much for me. Or was it more expensive 3 years ago? Have they gotten a update in tech and quality? I can get 4 good batteries for this price.
Scott, thank you for providing the best lithium battery in the market!!!
In regards to the cold weather use, how long is too long to stay at low temperature? For example, if one was to take a ski trip of 1 week or longer with persistent temperatures below 20 degrees would this cause damage to the battery or difficulty starting?
This is Great information for anyone considering using the Antigravity Automotive Batteries.
WOW!
This is a game changer in batteries for sure! I don't even need a new battery, but after watching this video, I want to replace all our vehicle batteries...and our oldest car is a 2020 Outback.
Thank you for the info and for this battery, I will definitely share with others!
Glad it was helpful!
I have been using Antigravity batteries reliably since 2014 in my car, I run the group 35 version of the automotive battery in my Fj Cruiser.
Do you have a battery compatible with group 65 for ford? I didn't see one on your site.
will this work with hybrid cars? for example 2022 Lexus 350h. Thank you.
Do they make side connections?
How will it fair with high temperature? My engine bay do get hot when driving for a long road trip and is it okay to add a high temp thermal wrap around the battery to keep it from getting super hot in the engine bay.
How does this battery handle winching draw? I use my winch a lot
What battery fits on a 21 Mustang GT?
I have solar panels on my RV that helps charge the battery, will this work with the Antigravity battery?
What size should get lithium battery for jet ski?
I may be getting one of your batteries, it would be the most expensive single component i've gotten for it, which people may think im crazy for... It's just a basic 06 GMC Sierra 4.8L, but im all about using the best and improving my vehicle in every way possible. One of the biggest parts i love about the battery is the weight savings, lightening up the front end would be perfect to improve performance. Will soon be getting a fiber glass hood as well so that will be a ton of weight savings.

Hey Guys, Im excited about your products. Okay Im racing formula ford class 1800cc race cars. We desperatly need lightweight batterys but we dont use Alternator or Stators. We charge after each sesson with battery chargers & generally Jump them to start before each race ie 40mins generally .... will this type of application work ? fingers crossed !
I've got an Antigravity battery in my 2012 Carrera S. Love it! The restart feature has bailed me out before.
Thanks!
Would the 80 AH battety be appropriate to use in Northern Minnesota where outside temps can drop to 40° below zero and stay below zero for days? Or is that just outside of it's designed application?
That is outside its designed use, in this circumstance it would be best to stay with lead, bu even Lead would even freeze in 40 below.
How would these work in a Truck operating High amperage draw Winches? would they overheat under a 450 amp load for say 30-60 seconds at a time? Alternator output in the 185 amp range. What is the automatic cutoff for low voltage? If it's too high a threshold, it might be annoying for a truck with electronics that don't shut off after hours averaging 1 amp parasitic draw. Looks like there's a female thread in the top middle of the posts to add additional power feeds??
What battery would I need for my 2018 Chevy Volt? I live in Colorado and we get freezing temps every once in a while, but I usually keep my car in my garage overnight and drive to work mon-fri where I park it outside.

Worth every penny and then some!
Hello Antigravity Batteries,
What about the alternator current ampere output into the battery? Will it be needing any specific alternator to match the LFP chemistry in term of the current ampere the alternator will be imputing into the LFP while charging. Can the same alternator that is now working with the AGM battery also work with the LFP battery?
My car is 2009 BMW X5 E70 3.0si series and I am currently using a H8 size 90Ah AGM battery, with the coding range limit of 105Ah AGM or 110Ah other type with a dimension of L 35cm x W 17.5 x H 19cm. So will LFP battery be suitable for my car please?
Thank you,
Regards.
Seriously considering getting one! Only concern is low temp ( < 32F) charging. Does it have cold temp charing cutoff or self-heating?
No self heating built-in... but the battery would have to be completey frozen to not charge. Best if you could contact us so we can explain severe cold weather operation. If you simply going skiing for a while it won't have any trouble, if you leave the vehicle outside for a weeks or so in below freezing temps that is not its best use. But the battery is insulated inside also, so it can handle freezing weather... just not outside long term.
How would these work in a diesel truck application? Moderate winters, but truck sits unused for weeks sometimes? (I've been using these in my motorcycles for years. On cold days I would turn the headlight on for a few minutes as I donned my gear to warm up the battery; this trick helped a bunch when temps were just around freezing.) Are these new batteries better in the cold?
They would work great, but you would want to go with 60Ah Versions in a large truck like that so you have sufficient capacity.... sorry for late reply.
How much is one battery
And can you ship
13.2 volts I wonder if over time if they will burn up your starter?
What group size do I need for my 2019 911 C4S and what is the weight of that Antigravity battery?
Sorry for delay, Porsche for 911 varients use the H6/Group48 or H7/Group 94r... both/either will fit, and we make those sizes..... but most go for the H6/Group48 size.
Purchase one for my camper, it has past my expectations of performance. I purchased a dual purpose ( standard with deep cycle capabilities) .
I just ordered a atz-7 and I didn't receive a remote 😒
Hey guys, for a c6 z06. Any recommendations? Noticed website does not have 2006 to 2013 listed
Sorry for late reply... sometimes our Battery finder will not list every year model, but we are working on updating that. But the Z06s used the H6 size as I remember and we carry that in 40 and 60 Amp Hour versions
Saw on this other rvideo that cop cars can be engine off ( not idling ) with Lithium ion battery and still keep ac and other things running ? Is this true and how much the cost ? What's the life of such a battery ?
To do that you need a very high amp hour battery, Police Cars are usually idling or have dual batteries... but we make some large Amp Hour Starter batteries that can do some of this, but it all depends on your system.
Which AH would you recommend for vehicles with high wattage car stereo systems? Do these batteries have any problems with high output alternators (400 amp)?
This would depend on the Wattage of your Stereo system. YOu would want to go with the maximum Amp Hours when running larger Stereos, but if you talking very large then you have to have an extra battery in there. Best to call our offices or email use so we can get specifics. 310 527 2330 or info@antigravitybatteries.com
Jesus! dude, 400amps!?!?
Hi - just looking at options for replacing a customer's starter battery. This is in a VW Westfalia camper with an auxiliary battery, which will be a LiFePo4 100AH. The system will have a Noco Genious10 shore-power charger (w/LiFePo4 capability), plus 100W solar with a LiFePo4 DC-DC charger. This system should be pretty well-equipped to prevent the under-voltage "sleep-mode" function of a BMS controlled LiFePo4 battery from activating under most conditions - but I can imagine scenarios that could allow that to happen (being many days off hiking while leaving the van in a shaded camping situation, for example) , so I'm interested in your system. But I'm not sure I see how pushing a fob button on a battery that has already reached it's LV disconnect point will be a sure-thing in terms of providing sufficient cranking amperage. The stock battery for this engine is rated around 650CCA. Are you saying the "sleep-mode" function kicks in with that much CCA in reserve?
Sorry for late reply... yes this battery would have enough power upon using the Wireless Jump Starting keyfob feature to easily start the Westfalia. But keep in mind upon this emergency start attempt the battery is in a discharged state. So you want to make sure all your accessories and attachement to the Deep Cycle battery is OFF. You want the remaining power to go only to starting the vehicle and not being robbed by having other accessories ON like the A/C or whatever else might be trying to get battery energy. But yes it will easily start the VW. Also note once you have used the re-start feature make sure you recharge the battery or drive the car sufficiently to fully recharge the battery. Driving only one hour will not fully recharge the battery... but will give it an OK charge. After a use you want to really get the battery back to a full state of charge before using the re-start feature again.
LiFeP04 storage temperature recommendation is below 113 deg.Fahrenheight, otherwise, it can cause premature severe degradation. Under the hood is (engine compartment is way above 113. What is your opinion on that?
Please give us a call at (310) 527-2330 and dial extension 1 to speak to one of our knowledgeable techs or email chad@antigravitybatteries.com. Thank you!
@@AntigravityBatteries A public response would be nice for this question.
@@dmna7609 Agreed. High temperatures will accelerate the degradation of any battery to some extent. Moving the battery out of the engine compartment such as to the trunk will keep it away from engine heat, but it can still easily get well above 113 degrees in the summer. I would also like to know how these batteries tolerate heat compared to lead acid batteries.
It just seems to me like lead acid battery is the sure way to go if you don't to worry about a dead battery in both cold and hot clinate condition. I really like to purchase this battery, but just wasn't if it's even worth shelling out that kind of money for a new battery that couldn't handle extreme cold and hot temperature. I love the light weight battery inovation. I really do hope they make more improvement to these new light weight battery that can handle extreme climate change condition. I really do think this manufacturer is going in the right direction and could possibly be the best car battery out there if they can solve different climate condition features to make this battery worthy of its asking price. I'm all ears for a much better technology that can tackle any climate condition. @@averyalexander2303
yep! Extreme heat and cold clinate can degrade a car battery. I just recently heat shield wrap my car battery and all the hoses that are close to the high temp generating engine inside the engine bay to help reduce the degradation life of the battery and hoses that are prone to deterioration in extreme heat. Why manufacturerels don't just heat shield wrap these critical parts to prolong the life is something that they should've thought of and done it before assembling the car together.
How is it in cold weather?. I daily drive my car though
@@erre6914 We usually go below that. Thanks for the input though
Nice video. Can u touch on the alternator charging limit of your lithium batteries? I believe my alternator can charge up to 155 amps if need be. Obviously 155amps wouldn’t be all the time but nevertheless.
Hi Todd, No worries there, and your last point touched on it exactly...the alternator should only be putting out what the vehicles system is drawing off of it in regards to amperage so the battery will function just fine, what you'd want to be sure on is the actual voltage output..generally you should be seeing 13.5-14.5...which fit right into the parameters we've set on the battery with even a little more room to play with outside of that. Feel free to email me directly if you have any other questions at all. chad@antigravitybatteries.com
Chad Estevez u said 14.5v. Will that cause any problem with the car’s electronics? Seems a little high. Thanks.
@@todd5082 Not at all. That's a pretty standard output for most cars.
@@chadestevez6167 Is there a coupon code available this month or for memorial day you could shoot me? Thanks
@@greeneking77 No coupon code active as of yet but there will be a sale over Memorial weekend and codes should be available and displayed on the site likely Thursday or Friday.
Hello. I am thinking of trading my 2 XSPower D4800 batteries and my XSPower 1000 Farad Supercap to go lithium. I have a 4000RMS stereo system.
What are the benefits or drawbacks of switching to lithium for my application?
Please give us a call at (310) 527-2330 and dial extension 1 to speak to one of our knowledgeable techs or email chad@antigravitybatteries.com. Thank you!
What was the verdict on this? I have a 2000RMS system and I’m thinking of upgrading my yellow top H6 to one of these.
Seriously considering this, however, I have a question.
How safe is the battery in 120+ degree weather? (Vegas or Phx for example)
How do high heat environments affect the life of these batteries?
For vehicle Batteries Lithium can handle heat very well and is safe being we have built-in protections from overheating. Though any battery can have a shorter life due to higher heat... and lithium will outlast a lead/acid in similar heat ranges by quite a ways. If you have had this problem or have a higher performance car with a turbo or headers close to the battery consider a heatsheild as a precaution in that hot of weather.
@@AntigravityBatteries So in other words....uninstall in the summer months or park in a garage? We easily get 120+ in the shade here in Vegas. The asphalt is easily 160+ degrees in direct sunlight.
If you not riding alot and keeping it parked yes you can just disconnect it for longer storage times. We are in Calif and go to Vegas a few times a year, so we do know how hot it can get for sure. But ambient temps are not the main concern. Its the riding and the battery being next to the exhaust, like on some Custom bikes like Harleys where they have modified the bike and the battery is close to header or the oil tank. Most modern bike will not be phased by the battery in high temps unless the radiator is right next to the battery like on some Ducatis. So you should not have a problem if the battery is in a stock bike in its normal position.
Was going to buy one until he said below freezing is bad for it, -45°C to -60°C, 6 months out of the year. 😥
I’ll buy one and do a review on RUclips
10:17 not really when I get at least 10 years from a battery for 1/3 the cost of a motorcycle battery and 1/4 to 1/7 the cost of a car battery.
I remember the first automotive Li battery I saw was in Summit Racing’s catalog and it was close to $1000, and unless I had a sponsored race car there was no way I was paying $1k for a battery. But these guys have made a lithium battery that have a comparable price to lead acid, good job
What? $829 is not comparable price to lead acid.
@@itsthejody601 - lol I just bought one of these for my Civic $675 vs $100 for factory Honda battery 🤣. I don't care though its crazy light and somehow the car runs smoother with better throttle response. Not a placebo either I know my car very well.
@@sweetwalls7662 Nice! One of our staff is getting ready to swap out the old lead acid unit in their Honda Element camper. Happy to hear it's performing well for you and you're pleased with the battery.
What exactly is "wireless"? what's transmitted where wireless?
As an example, if you left your lights on and drained the RE-START battery they are talking about in the video.... Well, the RE-START battery comes with two WIRELESS Keyfobs... similar to your Keyfob for WIRELESSLY unlocking or locking your Car Doors...meaning its a Remote Control Button that does not have wires. So you simply press this provided Keyfob and the Battery awakens with enough energy to start your Car. So wireless mean you just press the keyfob and it sends an electrical signal to the battery to wake up. So the keyfob has no wires.... Did I explain that well enough?
@@scottschafer9913 I think he means if the battery is discharged, what's actually starting the car? Is there a secondary battery that's meant only for jumping that is built in to the battery unit itself? Like a integrated jumper pack that is triggered with the FOBs?
@@Mikey6048 No, the BMS just shuts off connections before the battery discharges below a level adequate to restart the engine.
@@datmeme8967 Gotcha!
Need a T4 size
WE have other options for that size such as our ATX30 Batteries...
What about start stop
IT works fine with Start Stop systems.
Antigravity Batterie so pick it up!
This guy has 10000000 amp hours.
Not quite there yet... but working on it! I know my eyes start bulging and opening too big after I talking to much....that might be from excessive amp hours...
@@AntigravityBatteries Great presentation, shows that you are Amped about the product!
Your website says $829 for the lowest 40 Ah battery, $1199 for the highest 80 Ah battery, for my Dodge Challenger. No thanks.
Exactly and for that money, I can buy 4 or more AGM batteries. And some of my factory fitted conventional batteries have lasted 16 years. I doubt I will get 32 years out of an Antigravity battery if we go by the 2x or more life expectancy.
