CHARGING WARNINGS
CHARGING ANTIGRAVITY 12-VOLT BATTERY
The Antigravity Batteries starter batteries operate and are recharged correctly with any STOCK/OEM STANDARD
CHARGING SYSTEM found in modern 12-volt vehicles. Under normal operating conditions, and if you are riding/driving
enough to keep the battery charged, the Antigravity Battery should rarely need to be charged. In some circumstances
your battery may become over-discharged due to not riding/driving enough, being in storage, or you have extra
accessories that drain the battery when the vehicle is not running. In these cases charging may be needed.
To Charge or Maintain your Antigravity RE-START Battery
:
Only use a Lithium-Ion Charger designed specifically for 12.8 volt LifePo4 Lithium-Iron Phosphate Starter Batteries.
Follow all Manufacturer Instructions on Charger use.
Make sure that your RE-START battery has voltage at the Terminals and is not in “Sleep Mode”. Sleep mode may
prevent the Charger from “seeing” the battery. If no voltage is present, press RE-START button to “awaken” the battery.
Connect the Charger to the Battery to begin Charging. Remove when fully charged.

Do NOT use Lead/Acid Chargers/Maintainers on this Antigravity Battery or Lithium Batteries.
Do NOT use a 16-Volt Charger on a 12-Volt Battery.
Use only APPROVED LIFEPO4 Chargers for your Battery’s specific Voltage, Chemistry and Maximum Charge Rate.
Check Vehicle for proper Charging System Operation (especially pre-1995 vehicles, see below). You may have a bad
Voltage Regulator.
CHARGING SYSTEMS WARNING
(
OWNERS OF PRE-1990S BIKES & CUSTOM BIKES
)
Defective old Voltage Regulators found in some 1990s and earlier bikes can over-charge and damage Lithium Batteries!
If the vehicle’s charging system is defective, or is a Custom Charging system it might cause severe, dangerous
overcharging of the Lithium-Ion battery. For example, most older bikes from pre 1995 have Voltage Regulators that can
fail mechanically (modern vehicles use Solid-State Voltage Regulators and do not have this problem). If the voltage
regulator is defective the Lithium battery can be dangerously “over-charged” by spiking voltages not being controlled
by the voltage regulator. It is imperative to check for proper operation of your vehicle’s charging system on older and/
or Custom bikes! We recommend that a Professional checks your vehicle’s system if your bike falls into this category.
Failure to check the system could result in fire, explosion and damage to personal property. The most popular bikes that
usually have older defective Voltage Regulators are Harley-Davidsons, and Japanese bikes from the 1960s-1990s. You
may not realize the Voltage Regulator has become old and defective so please be alerted to this potential Hazard. You
can find modern solid-state plug and play systems for these vehicles. Defective Charging System components are not
covered by our Warranty and are not a battery issue.
We only approve modern OEM Solid-State Voltage Regulators for any Pre 1995 Motorcycles or Vehicles.
