I finally got off my ass to install this battery tracker on both of my cars Here's a screen shot from my phone of the two monitors on each of the cars, it's right after I had driven the ff
1) I'm a nerd 2) I thought my ff battery was dying / had a bad cell since it discharged to the point of not starting
These are helpful, but after a few months, the casing begins to bubble up, presumably, due to heat. The company was fantastic in supplying a new one right away. When I received the replacement, I affixed some heat shield tape, and it continued to work fine without the bubbling from the heat. It should be noted, however, that despite the bubbling, the original product continued to function just fine. Joe
Bought the AntiGravity tracker on Amazon, but when I had an issue, I contacted AntiGravity directly. They simply asked for a photo before sending out a replacement for free. I will try to locate the photo if it was not deleted

I would have thought it would be a better idea to use the OBD port as a way of permanently connect a battery monitor.
Coming back to this. Just in the process of buying a GTC4 V12 ferrari approved. And paranoid about the battery already - is there no concern with a lithium battery being so close to a very warm area ? Battery monitor clearly suffering, battery holds up fine ?
A valid question! Hollywood Mechanic has a program to actually relocate the battery to the back. Personally, I would just stick with an AGM battery and replace it more regularly than having a lithium in that location. I am very familiar with lithium battery fires (from even smaller batteries,) and they scare the hell out of me.
Yeah I am sticking with an agm and learned how to replace it. Even if I have to do it annually it’s really not a big deal
Learning how to replace it is kind of impressive. In the Lusso it seems buried under a bunch of other electrical stuff. I told it something like an hour of labor
It's really not that bad. It's in the same spot as the FF. You pull off one of the radiation shields and it's under there. The battery is annoyingly heavy and it's a weird angle, but no worse than doing the one in the passenger footwell of the 360...
