I saw this gem when visiting a field day in Scotland in 2012.
Found it when cleaning up my 15,000 photos.

Figured I'd ask the braintrust here about any experience with Antigravity lithium batteries. For a number of reasons I wasn't able to get the Porsche out at all over the winter here, and the battery's dead. I've read some good things about their capacity to hold a reserve so they start after a little while - I'm not expecting 4 months, but the car's not gonna get a ton of use beyond once or twice a month this summer.

Unfortunately the apartment building we live in has absolutely no electrical outlets in the garage, so a trickle charger is not an option. So aside from an expensive lithium battery, does anyone have any experience in a similar situation?

Does it have lights or a window? I've used a solar panel charger over a couple of winters on motorcycles with good luck. The NOCO brand one I have puts out 12 volts from a streetlight.

No unfortunately. I'd have to run it out to the sidewalk but here in Queens that wouldn't go over very well😂

I have a Antigravity ATX30 battery in my car, a lightweight version that saved approx 25kg compared to the OEM battery. It starts my car without hesitation. Over wintertime when I do not drive the car for months it loses charge and turns itself off, into sleep mode, so it does not discharge completely and dies.
Super happy with performance and weight savings.
But I think that you should probably look into their batteries that feature the Re-Start technology. The battery always saves some capacity and will always have the ability to start your car, even when it have been sitting for months. No need to open the hood or booth, just press a keyfob remote and start your car.
