Antigravity AG-35 review! A lightweight and dependable battery for street and full on race cars.
It is easy to get carried away in any car build… What started out as, lets add some new wheels since we are getting new tires, but now I need coilovers… and a new turbo.. and an exhaust. And then you end up with a car that is maxxed out for one specific task and it loses its appeal to drive it everyday.
When my STi was revived a few years ago I wanted a lightweight battery without all the downsides that come with a tiny powersports battery. And the Antigravity AG-35 ticked all of the boxes. Lets go through the major points that make this battery the best for a street/race car battery you can buy.
Lightweight
The best reason to add an aftermarket battery to the mix in my mind is to lose a few pounds. In the STi this weight is located in the furthest front corner of the nose of the car and any weight decrease will be highly beneficial to handling. The AG-35 is a full sized battery but it weighs only 13 pounds! Most undersized powersports batteries weigh more than this while giving up a lot of cold cranking amps.. which will take us into our next topic.
Cold cranking Amps
Now the Antigravity AG-35 gives you 1500 cold cranking amps! This is generally the opposite for those going to a lightweight battery. I believe my old undersized powersports battery had less than 300 and this is really noticeable when you are trying to flash new maps, listen to music on accessory mode or do any types of testing that need multiple starts. The Antigravity battery will easily keep up with all these tasks and more.
Fitment
An often overlooked feature of the Antigravity battery is the fact that it just fits in the factory battery location. I know that I spent extra money on an install kit for my undersized battery. And I still wasn’t all I needed to do.. I had to move the wiring around to fit the new location where the battery now occupied. With the AG-35 I just plopped it in and was done. Everything was ready to go and it felt great to be able to pop into the car and go for a drive.
Restart feature!
This battery has one more trick up its sleeve which is the ability to the Re-start function that is controlled wirelessly from the key fob. IN the case that your battery is drained and you need a jump it has that built in! No more struggling to get a friend to come out or finding jumper cables, with a press of the button you can give it another go.
Longevity
It seems like the lifespans of car batteries today is not what it once was. This battery features Battery Management System of BMS for short. This keeps tabs on the battery to prevent it from overcharging or overdischarging, which can easily reduce a batteries life span. The expectation of the battery life will be 7-9 years, climate can have an effect on this, much like any other battery.
So far with 6 months behind me I am very happy with the battery. I am looking forward to many trouble free years of use and will update this with any further information.
