Antigravity Re-Start Lithium Ion Battery | Product Review
Sean Finley | October 3, 2018
Antigravity Batteries has become one of the most popular brands for lightweight, lithium-ion batteries, portable jumpstart options and other battery-powered devices. They make some great products but their latest product—the Re-Start battery—is the world’s first battery with a built-in jump-starting function, which means if you do let the Antigravity battery go dead, you don’t need jumper cables (or another battery) to get things fired up again. It also has four posts instead of two for easier installation.
List Price: $129.99 (starting)

Standout Feature: Built-in jumpstarting system
Rider Analysis
Dead batteries on motorcycles and other powersports vehicles are far too common. Letting the vehicles sit too long between rides or forgetting to turn off your key often leaves you looking for jumper cables or a jumper box (Antigravity makes some of the best options for those, by the way). Antigravity was one of the first companies to offer lightweight lithium-ion batteries for powersports and the new Re-Start battery is equally light, but also includes a built in Battery Management System (BMS).
BMS provides lithium cell balancing, low-voltage cut-off, over-discharge/over-charge protections and temperature protections. All of this provides a longer lasting and more reliable battery.
Another innovative feature is a four-terminal post design that allows for easier fitment. But the coolest feature is the Re-Start function.
We have thoroughly tested the Antigravity Re-Start battery and abused it with multiple cycles of regular use, mixed with extended periods of non-use and leaving the key on, and it performs just as advertised. If you do run it all the way dead, you simply push the re-start button on the top of the battery to get the bike started. Then run your bike for a while and it will be fully recharged. Add in the fact that it is a lightweight lithium design, and this is the best battery option on the market today. CN
