Was watching the GT3 kids talk about lightweight batteries, and it feels like this tech has come into its own in the last couple of years, and is refined rather than cutting edge.
Anyway, the GT3 crowd seems pretty jazzed about these: https://shop.antigravitybatteries.com/produ...tomotive/rs-30/ Steep, but then again, a set of tires can cost this much (or a lot more) and these batteries look to be cheap on a per-pound-saved basis...and the remove weight high up in the car. Having converted to a six, that's appealing. Also like the on-off feature as well as the built in jump start. Thoughts? Alternatives? What are you using? How are they holding up, and what are the downsides? |
