Are you talking just wanting something for a Daily Driver? Because we have multiple sizes and uses available. For example a Racer can use a very small one, but if its a Passenger Car as main use then you would want more Amp Hour Capacity in a more OEM style Case.... If you do some track you might want a lower Amp Hour model to save some weight but still have plenty of capacity for average daily driving. But in general it can be from $400 to $800.

Here is the webpage for the OEM sized Automotive Version... but we have smaller ones that others are using in Street Vehicles as well... https://shop.antigravitybatteries.co...es/automotive/

Keep in mind we don't have the side terminal size batteries but they have the side Terminal Adapters.

Your car is a Group 75..... 9 1/16" x 7 1/4" x 7 5/16".

Closest we have is Group H5........ 9.5 x 7" x 7.5.

Everyone has different priorities. Some owners can justify spending tens of thousands on a motor. Others only a few hundred.

While I understand you point from your perspective....my position (and not just because we make the product) is that the built-in Jump Starting is crazy good. It's not just about lightweight.

I have a GT3RS.... if the battery goes dead in any Porsche you can't get in in without the frunk energizing at the fuse panel. With our battery I just press a keyfob to access the reserve power and can open the frunk or start the car. That is the same with many other cars. Also I have been out in my other cars a number of times over the course of my 55 years of life and have come back to a dead battery because I left the lights on or stereo.... and twice Camping. I would have paid anyone to help at those points in time.

So my point is I posted the other values and you sort of dismissed them.... twice the lifespan also.

I agree with you 100%.... it is NOT for everyone. Its a performance part, it is more expensive. But there is a very large segment interested and buying this stuff and I would say about only 15% are Racing... meaning 85% are guys who own a Performance Vehicle, we have Truck guys buying them also, they don't need weight reduction they just like the idea, but they are a much smaller percentage. The market is actually great for this product, but it is quite new as a solid segment in the Auto Industry because just like you it is not know. If you also go to the RENNLIST Porsche forum you will see it talked about in much greater detail... because Porsche offered these types of batteries in some of the Cars. So we are just marketing now to the broader performance market.

Our competitors such as Braille are charging over twice the amount for a battery without the feature of ours. So I understand you are not familiar with this technology, but it has been here for a while but due to cost and such it has remained a higher priced part. So we have actually made it more affordable to the Performance crowd and brought in the latest safety features and Wireless Jump Starting... so yes its expensive but the value is actually there for those who desire it.

Bring the price down under $300 and add the side mount terminals for C4s and I'm your customer!
