New Battery - Helps your race car shed pounds!

Weighs just 2.4lbs and measures 4.25 x 3.75 x 2.75 inches

Putting your race car on a diet just got easier thanks to the introduction of the new Anti-Gravity Battery. Developed by former motorcycle racer and current track day enthusiast Scott Schafer, the battery was designed to be the smallest, most powerful, lightweight and durable battery on the market. In the relatively short time since its introduction the battery has found wide spread acceptance among motorcycle racers in many different disciplines including road racing, supermoto and even street riders. The batteries are even currently being used in the AMA Supercross series by the factory support KTM SX team.

The battery’s on track success has led to the investigation of new applications. A natural choice seemed to be the motorcycle powered race car market that includes mini sprints, modified midgets, micro sprints, dwarf cars and modified lites. Working with Speed Partz, a battery was recently placed in a car running at the Tulsa Shootout for testing. During the three days of racing the battery performed flawlessly. Speed Partz Larry Fasse commented, “I think these batteries are going to be very popular. I’ve watched folks spend a lot of money just to save a few pounds. Here is a chance to shave up to 13 pounds off the weight of a car for a pretty reasonable price.”

The battery is more powerful, much lighter and has a much smaller footprint than traditional lead/acid batteries.

The technology behind AntiGravity is the Lithium battery and most specifically a technology called Lifepo4 in the Cylindrical format. This not only provides for a much lighter product, but also has the highest cranking amps of any lithium cell available while maintaining the smallest size of any batteries available. The battery does not require maintenance or trickle charging, it is much safer than a lead acid battery due to the fact that it is made with non-toxic materials, has no liquids inside to leak out in the event of an accident. It is actually considered safe for the environment. As it commonly happens, necessity is the mother of invention. Schafer didn’t set out to produce a battery, but after trying some of the other Lithium battery applications on the market with less than positive results was forced to come up with his own solution. Scott commented, “I tried to work with a few of the manufacturers and even spent time letting them know exactly what we believe was required for the market, they didn’t seem to be interested in producing the best product possible.”


The battery is so small and light that it can be tucked away just about anywhere on the car.

Tapping into a Battery Engineer's extensive knowledge and extensive testing and use of the Lifepo4 cells, Scott went to work building his own battery. Requirements around building a battery that was lightweight, extremely compact, yet powerful and capable of standing up to the vibrations experienced in racing made sourcing and manufacture difficult. As a result of his diligence Scott is proud to now have a product that is of the highest quality that delivers unparalleled performance compared to anything on the market. “The materials utilized in our battery are not from the cheapest suppliers, but instead from those that deliver the highest quality and reliability. Our batteries are also manufactured to much higher standards than the competition including deeper welds, thicker battery tabs, and a tighter shrink wrapping of the cells and sufficient, proper placement of insulating materials to ensure the batteries fit for racing applications. Additionally the battery comes with one of the best warranties on the market. For one year after the purchase of the battery, as long as it has not been opened or modified, it has a complete limited warranty. If there is a problem the battery is either replaced with a new one or repaired.

Benefits
Reduce Weight – The Anti-Gravity Battery reduces weight by up to 80% over the sealed deep cycle batteries currently used in many motorcycle powered racing cars. For example the Odyssey 680 weighs in at over 13 lbs, whereas the Anti-Gravity Battery AG 6900 weighs in at just 2.2lbs. An 11pound savings.

Smaller Footprint – In addition to being lighter, the Anti-Gravity Battery also has a much smaller footprint than traditional batteries. The Antigravity is battery is actually half the size of the Odyssey 680. It is 3" shorter in legnth, 3" shorter in height and 1/2" less wide..... This provides for much greater flexibility when selecting a mounting location. The Anti-Gravity Battery can even be mounted on your race cars firewall.

Safety – The Anti-Gravity Battery is a special type of Lithium Battery. This means there is no dangerous acids to leak or spill in the event of an accident. Additionally the use of Lifepo4 technology means that the battery is not susceptible to overheating and exploding as occasionally occurs with Lithium computer batteries.

Cranking Amps – The Anti-Gravity Battery delivers more cranking amps than a comparable lead acid battery.
Cost – The Anti-Gravity Battery is much less expensive than other high end batteries like the Braille, yet capable of providing comparable performance.

Quality – Designed specifically as a motorsports battery, Anti-Gravity Batteries are manufactured to much higher standards to stand up to the rigors of racing.
