Just wanted to confirm for folks that I finally got around to installing the Antigravity H8/Group 49 80 Ah battery into the Lusso! I also installed the battery monitor which is super nice. I can confirm that the CTEK Lithium charger with the Ferrari magnetic adapter from Juicemyride.com works to properly charge up the battery and maintain it. Being able to have a quick look at the state of charge on the Lusso and on the Pista is super duper nice. I have 9 month old Odyssey that is in excellent condition if anyone out there would like it. Pickup only, as this thing is not only heavy, but not easy to ship. Contact me via DM if you want to pick it up (located in the SF Bay Area)
Make sure to place some reflective heat tape around the monitor or it may become warped. Anti-Gravity was great about replacing the product, but based on its location in the engine compartment, it is more likely to happen to this plastic part.

Thanks for sharing. Does this battery fit in the Ferrari FF too? Does it really save 40lbs, like the website’s mention?
Would the factory battery tender work for this battery or do we need to use the Ctek for lithium batteries that was mentioned from juicemyride?
Yes you need the lithium charger. If you want to make life easier on yourself, you can get an adapter so you can use the lithium charger with the magnetic charge point. Sent from my SM-G930F using FerrariChat.com mobile app
i just installed an antigravity battery and bluetooth monitor in my F12. so far so good. however the bluetooth app doesn't seem to have any security or 2-way authentication so anyone can download the app and walk close to my car and access it. they can initiate crank/charge tests and change my notifications. nothing earthshattering but shouldn't there be some kind of security?
Reviving this old thread. Thinking about getting the battery. How's the battery holding up for those been upgraded? I'm somewhat concerned about the heat right next to the motor for having a lithium battery sitting next to it.
Battery has held up well, and using the CTEK Lithium charger with a magnetic adapter for the car works well. No issues. The bluetooth monitor however did not do great. I would suggest routing it into your passenger compartment. The enclosure for it warped due to heat and the board inside it stopped working. I think the board stopped working because the enclosure warped by ballooning up and creating a lot of internal space whereby the board was able to rattle around inside it. No clear signs of heat damage to the board.
HI Secret, Scott from Antigravity Batteries reaching out to you. I see you are using our battery in the Lusso, so I had a few questions, also we'd be glad to send you a new battery tracker, I saw you stated it melted... I tried to PM you but it wouldn't allow it. Anyway thanks for going with our stuff and I just wanted to try to communicate with you becasue I had a few questions and wanted to make sure we got you a new Tracker... we recently became a sponsor of F-Chat, so we will be active on the forum. If you find the time could you PM or contact me at scott at angravitybatteries.com
I've had an Anti-Gravity w/Re-Start on my Husky 701E for 5 years. Without a charger of any kind. It spins the big thumper like it did, during the throes of COVID. Going from 11 lbs, to 2 lbs and adding an add'l 60 amps is a home run. Yes, I know this is F-Chat, and not a Husky forum. I don't have my BB 512 anymore, but I still show up, now and again. Besides, when is the last time someone/anyone used the word "throes" in a post? My point being that these batteries still perform at 5 years and 9,000 miles.
