As I mentioned above I have the 40AH in my Scud and no issues Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Yup, it’s your experience as well as Goggles that led me to decide the 40 was the way to go for my application.
These cars are VERY sensitive to voltage drops or spikes. I would buy the highest capacity available; I mean you do save 2.5 lbs extra on the 40, but you lose 20% power reserve too...but that's just me.
My thought as well. We all know batteries degrade and lose capacity with age. The purchase of a 60 Ah may pay off in gaining you an extra year or two of service life.
I went with the 40a as well. It’s purely a weekend car for me so it spends most of its life on a tender.
Same with the Astons and I’ve had a 40AH in that one for several years. Voltage drops and spikes are a thing of the past Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I’m in the middle of installing my Antigravity 40a T6 battery. Thought I’d post some real world numbers for what the weight savings will be. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
THAT is more weight saving than all carbon fiber you can install on your car for tens of thous $$.. enough said.
Anyone using a 40Ah in a 360 spider? I only operate the top with the car on. For the coupe no reason to not go with 40Ah if you use a tender, but I don’t know which way to go with the spider. @Doctor Mark all batteries can cause a fire, but with either technology it’s very unlikely. I use tender’s on both coupe and spider, and always manage the battery.
Did you get the free monitor they were offering during the memorial day sale? I didnt think I'd care about it but it's a great tool to monitor status.
A good discount code is ‘HOONIGAN’ - 15% off if you missed the sale. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
I wanted to give it a while before I posted this, but I discovered an additional benefit to the antigravity battery...my clock keeps time Not sure how many other experience this, but it seems to be prevalent, at least in the F430, that the dash clock runs faster than the car. Something I learned to live with I guess so when I installed the new battery, I purposefully set the time to be back by a few minutes so it would at least average out on time over the next month or so. Well, several weeks in now and I haven't noticed any significant change. I'm actually wanting to set the correct time as it's been perpetually a few minutes behind (where I set it) since I put the battery in. Could it be that the higher resting voltage of the antigravity battery allows for the clock to keep better time since it's closer to the running voltage versus the higher swing in a typical battery? Whatever the reason, I'm just glad I have a clock that keeps the correct time for more than a week.
Change the seats if you want real weight savings. I am keeping the AGM Audi battery I have installed.
I just weighed the power, heated, lumbar Daytonas and they weighed 57.6 lbs each. I did a search and found a post by 360Trev where he mentioned the carbon seats weigh 57lbs for the pair. So for me, personally, I saved 90lbs between the seats and battery. Good weight savings but more than that, the carbon sport seats are the only reason I still have the car. I hate the Daytonas that much.
Hey good to know. I have the standard seats and I don't find them too bad... definitely worse than the Recaros in the GT350R... where would I get some of those lightweight seats?
Unobtainium really. I just got lucky on eBay and found a set in the right color (charcoal gray) and size. Paid $12k for them but they are just NOT available anywhere unless you get lucky.
Why is this an either or thing? Both are fantastic. Antigravity>>>>AGM. Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
