so your saying the reps say antigravity batteries are designed to charge and function in the OEM system? Do they hold the same voltage at the same times then? I think there are a couple of computer systems that are pretty sensitive to the programed AGM voltages. That would be a interesting solution if it holds up though. Post up some info if you go that route!I spoke with the Rep for Antigravity Batteries, they are plug and play. They have protections already built in which are designed specifically to allow OEM electrical systems charge their batteries. I have no need for a winch, ran my last Warn Zeon for 4 years and never used it, not even once... I am not adding one to my current build. Either Ill figure a way through or someone else in the group will have a winch.
Though I did not know the exact SOC of the battery during my trips, I do know it never dropped below 10V as I have a voltage readout installed where I ran the fridge connector in the rear.
yeah I am totally aware you can run for a weekend. Lots of folks do it just fine. But for me that is high risk. Often times I solo trips and am hours and hours away from the nearest development. A good example is last summer a friend of mine got a flat and needed a tow back to where they live which was probably 4 hours on the highway. But there wasnt a tow within 2 hours. I had to tow my TJ just 10 miles outside of the town I live in because a local shop forgot to put gear oil back in the diff. Well my insurance, USAA (which is suposed to include roadside towing) wanted me to pay 4K to dispatch a tow truck from 3 hours away just to tow me 10 miles back to townâŠâŠ. Needles to say, being accurate to not have a âoopsâ is pretty big for me being apparently so far out in the woods.
