    Just to provide a data point: Car sat in the garage for 4-6 weeks (battery connected, no charger) and just started right up without hesitation.

        Wow. Glad I installed those rubber terminal covers. I don’t run with the plastic battery compartment shelf anymore since I need access to the restart button on the battery. I’ve often worried about a stray wrench or something shorting the terminal.

          Do you recall how many lbs you saved when you swapped to the antigravity battery?

              Battery for battery about 45lbs, but should be closer to 50 once I get the heavy steel bracketing swapped out for some aluminum straps.

                            That’s why I had to ask and make sure. Wow! A 5 lb battery. That’s awesome how far technology has come. I’m definitely going to have to look into this.

                            Would you be able to leave a ctek tender on this battery during the winters ?

                              Yep just make sure it's the correct charger for LiFePO batteries. This is the one that I got as it was recommend by Antigravity.

                                concur this charger works well.
