Anti Gravity Restart Battery Problem!GSXR1000.

[@kevinpeterson4098]

I have a 2006 Gsxr 600. Yellow and blak like yours. I added a volt meter cig lighter 12 v on my handlebars so i can check voltage as i ride. I have had the dreaded Stator/rectifier problem a few times. It takes my gauges out then the count down from 14.5 to 8.volts as I ride and it shuts off. I'm glad i watched your video, I was also hesitant to upgrade the battery now I know not to. Sorry...this happened and I hope you get your money back.

Definitely weird the way it acted. I've always resisted buying one of these for the price and for the fact that they require a separate charger. I've always used AGM batteries and have had pretty good luck with them. I figured as fat as I was a few pounds wasn't going to matter anyway.

[@linksgarage1985]

@@CraigSmith568 yea. The separate charger kinda sucks as well.

Oh jeez man , what a neat concept for a battery to have .No so neat if your bike doesn't like it though. It would be interesting to find out why .Wether is a defective battery or an electrical conflict somehow with the electronics of the bike .Curious how your return attempt plays out and if the manufacturer offers any reasons for incompatibility or what may be wrong .Good on you for putting out a video on this one to save others from the headache.

@@TRyanLearnBikes I did reach out. And they said I could send it back for warranty. Just sucks. $240 for a battery. I’m going to try it in my DRZ and see if it does the same thing. I’ll keep you posted.

The lead acid battery in my DRZ was toast after a year. I would recharge it and it wouldn't hold charge for a week. Got a lithium-ion battery and it's been great. I describe the weight as a pack of cigarettes compared to a 6 pack of beer, which is important in a DRZ where the battery sits high and out the back in the bike. The cold cranking amps are greater too Scott which is why the big Suzuki fires up fast. I don't know why the bike doesn't like the battery but that's weird and I'd get rid of it (the battery not the bike never get rid of the bike!)

It's 'Anti-Grzvity' ... Only works in deep space.. the battery doesn't recognize the Kentucky atmosphere.. 😅.

Depending on the CO$Ts of these lithium batteries.... I think they're a prime spot to start for people looking to shed some dead weight from their bikes. I've seen a few people add them just for the weight reduction but IDKnow they had other functions within the battery. That is kool. peace

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

Damn Link, that 5 lb difference out to get you into trouble about 1/2 second faster than you are used too? I make fun but I couldn't sit comfortably on that bike. The DRz I'd enjoy, the other I'd go to GOD......or not! It's like there's a "communication" problem between the bike & that battery? Too many "smart" devices w/ their own brains might not work well? I've seen regular lithium battery's but this one has that "smart" feature allowing a key to talk to it = another smart device trying to tell your bike what to do/how to act. I'm gonna say they've seen this issue by now in some bikes? Might be early but they know some bike ECU's aren't gonna recognize how this battery moves/generates, and stores power thru the alternator. I'm really interested in seeing what comes of this ! I don't even own a bike & this is important !

Lithium batteries will fail if charged above 13.8 volts for any length of time. I tried one of those Anti-Gravity batteries in my old Sportster and when I checked the charge voltage it was around 14 volts so I figured close enough! Wrong! After about 20 miles my voltage regulator was smoked and the battery was destroyed. If you have a newer bike that was designed to run Lithium you should be fine. I would not try to run one of those in an older bike designed to run lead acid. Charge voltage and internal resistance on Lithium batteries is not compatible with older bikes.

[@linksgarage1985]

Great info. Thank you!

[@GromBeardo]

I had a SHORI lithium that was crap out the box. They sent me out a new one no questions asked. If RevZilla gives you a hard time go straight to the manufacturer. Might have better luck with them 🤘

[@linksgarage1985]

@@GromBeardo RevZilla’s was great. But they can’t return it because it’s not electrical. They game me all contact in for the manufacturer etc. Revzilla def has great customer service.

Would have been interesting to see the volts of the battery with a multimeter before you swapped it out with the lead acid.

[@linksgarage1985]

@@Chris_Z. I did check it. It was still at 13 volts. I just didn’t film it. Weird I know.

I just bought one of their new Bluetooth battery monitor/tracker device’s 2 weeks ago and it works like a charm so far. It sucks that battery didn’t work out though. I wonder if the underside of your seat is intermittently pressing against that Re-Start button when you shift your weight around a little during a ride?

[@linksgarage1985]

@@reesecuptbb nah. I checked the clearance. All was well there. Not sure what the deal was. Sucked for sure.
