Antigravity Batteries: Described as a “game changer” when it was unveiled
a year ago, market response to the new RE-START Li-Ion battery has been
enthusiastic. The Gardena, California based specialist has addressed one of
the central challenges posed when wanting to embrace the advantages of
Li-Ion battery technology over conventional lead acid and AGM formats with
built-in jump starting “making being stranded by a dead battery a thing of
the past” - simply press the RE-START button located on the top of the
battery to access the battery’s reserve energy, then start the vehicle and
drive away. There will also be a remote key fob button available, which will
allow the rider to trigger the RE-START feature without having to remove
the seat or a fairing to access the battery. They are “the most technologically
advanced motorcycle/powersports batteries ever built,” says CEO Scott
Schafer, “the first lithium-ion powersports batteries with a full Battery
Management System (BMS) that actively balances the lithium cells while
protecting the battery from overcharge, over-discharge and overtemperature
conditions”; www.antigravitybatteries.com
