No experience with either model you listed. We have a small lithium battery on the track car. It has sn undervolt switch to avoid leaving you stranded. Its on the battery itself. For a street car I would recommend a remote switch to the drivers cockpit area so you're not digging in the trunk to start the car.

I've been running a Brail GU1R for over 4 years now, and not had as single issue. That said, I do put it on a maintainer if I'm parking the car for more than a week or two. That said, I also do that on the stock battery M5 and M3 wagon, soo....
When it ages/cycles out, I intend to replace it with something with an automatic cutoff feature, as that does seem like nice peace of mind. But, doesn't seem like it's worth replacing a wear item preemptively for that functionality.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I’m looking to cut the most weight from the car and I like features that allow me to see voltage of the car so I might go with the anti gravity but the lite blox has some features that I like. My car does not have raiding or other features that consume a lot of power so I’m not worried about a lithium battery. My battery is about four years old and I believe I’ll need to replace it soon.

Ive had the Braille GU1r for 4.5 years now with no issues. It is 4.5# i believe. I also have a small 4 channel stereo amp that it powers, and the car sits for long periods sometimes. In the longer periods, I use their trickle charger to keep it fresh.2003 Carbon Black - Karbonious CSL intake, CSL DME w/MAP, SSV1 headers/Catted Section1/63.5mm Section2, Shrick 280/272 cams, Lang Racing Stage 1 cylinder head, Eibach Pro Street S Coilovers (500#F/600#R), GC Sways, AutoSolutions SSK, Motorsport 3.91 rear diff, BBS RGR wheels, Streamline CSL front bumper
