Are Antigravity batteries as amazing as their micro-starts?

Even with a new 310cca battery my 120ci Ultima motor is very sluggish first thing in the morning. Rest of the day its fine but that first start in the morning sometimes seems like it almost isn't gonna make it. So, I picked up one of the Antigravity XP-1's to give it a little more oomph on that first start. Well I gotta say it absolutely blew my mind. I thought it would just crank a little faster or longer but when you hit the button it just starts immediately. And I do mean immediatly. No hesitation, no sluggishness. It's like turning on a light. You hit the button and this thing is running. I know some of you had expressed an interest in their batteries. Anyone ever get one? What do you think. Before anyone tells me my battery is too small, it is the largest battery I can fit in my build. Period.

I run one of these in my Deuce.  120" ci, 12.3:1 cr, All Balls 1.7k starter,  Baisley modified cr's and Yooper cables.  Spins the engine effortlessly.

Idiots are fun, no wonder every village wants one.

Heck yeah. I'll bet it spins like crazy with 720cca's. I hadn't planned on that much cash but was looking at their 480cca model which still gives me more than a 50% boost over the battery I have now. I'm running a factory starter but all very heavy duty cables.

mine kicks ass.  no trickle charger needed either, as they don't bleed energy like a lead acid or Gell...

spins my 117 with yoopers cables no problems.  I swear the bike is easier to push into the garage from the lighter weight.    :idunno:

I'm having the same issue, bigger motor in older bike, drains the battery if it doesn't fire right off. The problem I see is what if you lose your charging system out on a trip, they say if you discharge their battery too far it kills them. So I'm going to go with using the micro-start for the first fire-up.

It better for 430 bucks. Dam

Harpwrench, so far that little micro-start has proven to be way better than I had expected. My thinking was that I would start there and see how well the lithium tecnology works. Plus it has other uses. Those batteries are actually smaller and much lighter than the one in my bike right now. Spendy though.

Yeah I want to see what kind of longevity out of a anti-G.
