Lightweight battery

[Steve24]

Finally found an option for us here in Oz (sorry if it’s already been mentioned).

40Ah, 13lb, T6 size, Bluetooth monitoring, restart tech, etc.

Not cheap, but certainly cheaper than other options.

Anyone have experience with these?

I understood that you had the Amazon battery in mind, but with China dominating the global lithium-ion battery industry, I wasn't afraid to take the plunge. My only regret now is how much I paid for the Antigravity battery.

Just fitted an interesting option for those in the UK. The price was just too good for me not to give it a try!

Predator SureStart, 40Ah, 1200 CCA, 6.9kg... 200 quid

After a bit of research, and some direct questions on suitability to the helpful mob at JustBatteries.co.uk, I sourced mine via their eBay storefront (they were running a promotion there for 10% off at the time).

I originally tried to fit the 56Ah variant, but the casing was ever so slightly too long to fit, so I returned that and grabbed the 40, which is slightly smaller than the stock battery.

Fits easily (obviously), fired eagerly on first startup, voltage is a solid 13.28 at rest (I have a remote monitor hooked up).



EDIT: added data sheet to save people rummaging around for it

My Evora GT 410 Sport is std equipped with the (beautiful and high tech.) Super-B Andrena 25Ah LifePo4 starter battery incl. Ctek battery charger.
It is now 6-7 years old and still works fine, however the rest of the lifetime may be not so long.
To replace it the Super-B Andrena 25Ah (also used in Porsche) however is very expensive (€ 1400,- in the Netherlands/Belgium).
An alternative could be the Super-B Andrena 20Ah, which has sufficient starting power / capacity for normal daily use, however this one still costs € 1100,-.
I therefore searched / studied the possibilities of the application of some other make of a 20Ah LifePo4. and to have one standby / in stock for the case of necessity.
There are not so many small size ones; those that are suitable for the Evora battery space / clamp available on the market as far as I discovered.
On the web I found an alternative on the site of jackwebbmotorsport.co.uk which has a 20Ah LifePo4 battery which "succesfully was applied on 3,5 Ltr. engines" and has a very good price.
However I went my own way and purchased a 100% JWS similar 20Ah LifePo4 battery in China (Dohon) which fits wonderfull in tthe existing battery box + clamp where now the Super-B 25Ah is located.
I tested it today and my 3,5 Ltr Toyota engine started with full power immediately........I am happy with it.
I made some pictures and a datasheet of the info I gathered, starting with the existing Super-B 25Ah situation.
