Yep. If you don't order with the battery, just buy it through their Amazon store and avoid their insane minimum shipping price.

Good idea, great minds think alike! I did order the battery tender through Amazon as it was much cheaper as well and actually the lowest price in a long time. Set a reminder on camelcamelcamel since it wasn't urgent and the price dropped to the lowest since mid 2021. I was holding off on ordering the batter tracker at the same time because I wasn't sure if they would send it or not, lol.

Battery tender? You got a LiFePo specific device I hope. I got a C Tek from AG when I ordered the battery for the GS F since it was all on sale at the time.

Same one as on the AG website.

Amazon ($95.99 + free shipping):
Amazon Amazon


AG website ($121.99 + $12.56 shipping = $134.55): https://antigravitybatteries.com/pro...ek-lithium-us/

It looks like this company may use the same battery supplier and rebrand it differently: https://www.megalifebattery.com/mv26r80d26r.

Bringing this back from the dead to ask if anyone who installed these batteries have had any long term reliability concerns? I am thinking about doing this for my next weight reduction mod. I've heard that lithium car batteries can wear out your starter and alternator quickly and I am very ignorant on the subject matter, so I'm curious if any of you have had issues with antigravity batteries long term.

I've had my earthX ETX 1600 for 2 1/2 years and no issues whatsoever. They definitely bring the motor to life when you hit that button😎.....with all the benefits and lightweight of lithium batteries I think they're worth it.

No issues in the IS F, GS F, or Supra. Nothing but goodness.

Thank you all - I'll probably end up getting the battery and the lithium specific charger for it just in case.

Need a battery now that my Red Top **** the bed after 2.5 years. The anti gravity battery looks great and it has a 5 year warranty but $700+ for a battery is a lot.

Anyone have experience with X2 Power batteries? They are only $350 and you can get 10% off right now. Has a 48 month free replacement warranty which seems the best for AGM. https://www.batteriesplus.com/produc...nCode=VI678798

I'll never buy another lead acid battery for my cars regardless of technology (wet cell, AGM, gel). They don't perform anywhere near what the LiFePo4 batteries do.

All three of my cars have Antigravity batteries.

I installed this battery about a year ago and I zero complaints. Fit was perfect and it’s performing well!

2+ years with antigravity and zero issues. Had to do jump start with oem battery which triggered impromptu purchase. Weight saving is extra bonus!
