Antigravity Re-Start Batteries | Lithium-Ion Battery With Built-In Jump Starting
Antigravity Batteries introduces the all-new Re-Start lithium-ion battery that has a built-in jump starting feature. The new Re-Start battery has a button on the top of the battery that, when pushed, accesses the battery’s reserve energy to start your bike. Antigravity Batteries says it will soon be offering a remote key fob so the re-start feature can be accessed without having to remove the bike’s seat or fairing.
The lithium-ion Re-Start battery also has a Battery Management System (BMS) that is designed to actively balance the lithium cells while protecting the battery from over-charge, over-discharge and over-temperature conditions. Antigravity explains that these built-in protections make for longer service life, up to two times the life cycle of lead/acid and other lithium starter batteries on the market.
Scott Schafer, CEO, states, “We’ve all been left stranded by a dead battery. It’s awful, frustrating, and in some situations, if you’re in the middle of nowhere, it can be very dangerous.” He explains, “Our objective as a leader in lithium-ion technology for motorsports was to create a vehicle battery that the customer can rely on and not worry about getting stuck in the middle of nowhere with a dead battery, and I’m happy and proud to say we have done it with this new battery!”
The Re-Start batteries have a new four-terminal-post design, which allows for easy connection for the user, and the ability for the dealer to carry less stock since one battery will work for right- or left-side connections on the vehicle. They also come in direct-fit OEM sizes, so there is no foam needed for installation as required by other brands. All the new Re-Start batteries come with a 3-year warranty.
Prices Range from $129.99 and up.
