Installation

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Before Installation make sure the location of the battery will be free from areas of potential short-circuiting of the cables, 
terminals and other electrical connections. Be aware of other potentially dangerous situations such as moving parts, 
metal parts or extremely hot parts such as headers. Make sure your Charging System is in good operating condition and 
not charging above 17.5v for this 16v Lithium Battery.

Remove the Negative Cable then the Positive Cable from your old battery, and remove the battery.
Securely install the battery in a tray or other method that does not allow battery movement. Ensure the area is free 
from high-heat parts and areas of potential short-circuits. The battery can be installed in any orientation without issue.

After secure fitment of the battery, replace Positive then Negative cables and tighten the nuts. NOTE: A firm tightness 
is all that is needed (4.0 N-m or 3.5 lb-ft). Do not over-torque the battery terminals, damage could result!

PLEASE USE SAFETY! FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS

Battery MUST be securely mounted into vehicle to prevent movement.
Be careful not to directly short-circuit the Battery connections on the frame, or other metal parts.
Battery and Cables should not be installed near hot pipes, sharp objects, or metal parts.
Battery Cables should have some slack and not be tightly stretched.

Do not install close to Carbon Fiber... Carbon Fiber can conduct electricity!

Test for Parasitic Drains on your vehicle after battery installation (VERY IMPORTANT, see “Troubleshooting” section).
If you have an older bike/vehicle (1990s and earlier) with a voltage regulator, update to a modern solid-state voltage 
regulator for the correct voltage.

Battery Care & Maintenance

CHECKING THE BATTERY

Antigravity Batteries do not require maintenance for the most part if they are kept in a good state of charge, but as with 
any battery, they should be checked once every few months, or weeks as a precaution. Visually inspect the product for 
any cracks, check the mounting is secure, and check the voltage.  They key to long life for any battery chemistry is to 
not allow the battery to get below 14v. Below 14v, may cause damage to the cells, and the lower the voltage and longer 
the time over-discharged the more potential for damage.

CLEANING

To clean the Antigravity Battery, use a clean dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, DO NOT directly spray 
the battery with a Pressure Washer or Hose.

STORING

The Antigravity Battery can hold a charge for over a year provided there are no parasitic drains taking the battery’s 

energy. If you are going to be storing your vehicle it is best to disconnect the battery completely, and it will maintain its 
charge for over a year. If you will be storing it out of the bike, place the battery in a cool dark place.
