Experience with Antigravity Lightweight Battery??

[foolio2k4]

the antigravity doesn't list the cold crank amps.

I have been running the Odyssey 680 for the past 2 years now.

takes a few seconds to crank when its cold (50-60 degrees). Wont start if left for about a week.

So what do you if you leave it for a week and doesn't start? Just jump it? Does the alternator then fully recharge the PC680?

If it were me I'd just leave it on a conditioner.

Alternators will recharge a battery to a point. I don't know the exact chemistry that the PC680 uses- but with lead-acid batteries, various sulfate precipitates will form on the electrodes if they're left untouched, and then they can't be re-dissolved and are non-conductive, so your voltage will drop.

I've never tried to leave my PC680 sit for more than a few days to a week max. Then again, my car isn't a DD. I don't think I'd be running that battery if I either had a high-option car, big stereo, etc. or if the car was required for daily transportation in inclement weather, etc. Mine stays on a Battery Tender whenever it's going to be parked for more than a couple days. (which is basically always).

You can get the same battery but without the $$ name for half:

My car is driven limited and kept on a Battery tender when parked for more them a week.
The Braille has worked great or me. Small enough but still powerfull like a standard battery, handles the demands of a day on the road course and dependable enough to drive on a 3k mile road trip (like I did in 2012).

The B3121 comes with bolt on posts that can be installed in two different configurations, this allows the battery to be mounted in many different ways.

The B3121 weighed in at 19lbs on my scale compared to the oem Motorcraft at 31lbs.
The Braille has helped bring the weight of my SGT down to 3706lbs including me.

After reading up on how a battery tender works you won't consider anything else for battery maintenance. Readup at batterytender.com

I have 3 ponys hooked up to them during these winter months.
To this day our 2001 Roush is still starting on the original battery.
