I think this option is best:
Option for the group buy will be;
1-RS-30 Battery with Mount Only.

Best Regards,
Dave

Oh yeah figure I might as well show you the mounting of the RS-30 Battery and a picture of my GT3 RS.... keep in mind this is the white plastic prototype I have been using in the car... but is shows better in the Picture anyway.... you will see the white plastic below the battery... excact fit of the bottom footer... just that one bolt holds it in place.

I live in Ojai CA and we have some great roads out my door, so very lucky...super green right now after a massive Nitrogen injection in the soil from the Ash from the fires in December... luckily I didn't have the RS back then...

Thanks for the education. Can you comment on the pros and cons of the Porsche Lion battery?

So the only changes you will see on the Trays below for this first run are;
1- The Laser etching saying Antigravity Batteries on the top mount bar will be in our special font and larger...
2- The colors available will be Billet Aluminum, Red and Blue Anodizing.
3- The bolts that hold the side rods will be a a stainless steel countersunk bolt... so it will be clean looking.

Below are some pictures and the weights... I will approve the samples today and I'm told about 3 week full production... over the next few days I will put up some pricing on a few different option.... and tell you how much more the colors are since I have not gotten the final pricing yet.

Option for the group buy will be;
1-RS-30 Battery with Mount Only.
2-RS-30 Battery with Mount and a Charger. Being honest I don't think you will ever need anything but a .8amp Maintainer type charger... but if you want the 5-Amp (more expensive) model we can calculate that also. 5-Amp charger only chargers faster and has some extra diagnostic and saving features.
3-ATX-30 (currently sold out due in Late April or early May) with Mount.
4-ATX-30 (currently sold out due in Late April or early May) with Mount. and charger..... again you should only need the .8Amp charger rather than the 5-Amp Charger.

Below are some images with weights. Keep in mind if you are street driving you won't need to have the top hold-down bar bar or rods mounted... This Tray alone actually mounts on bottom of the battery with six little screws... but for racing and tracking you going to want the top mount on due to much high vibration movement on the track and Racing. Also some organization require a metal hold down. Either way, all the kits come with all the parts I'm just saying you don't have to install them all if you not really creating the heavy vibration and loads that massive breaking and speeds cause on the car.



Thanks for coming out with such a great product. I especially appreciate the vehicle specific mount. That being said, I much rather have a black mount over raw aluminum and especially over blue and red. I could be off base here, but I think you will find that most would be interested in black as well. I for one like to keep everything looking as OEM as possible and I don't see myself going with raw aluminum, red or blue.

Any chance you would make black an option for the mount?

I was thinking the same. I’d take black as a first choice if it was available, if not then raw.

Cross posted this group buy in the GT4 forum, I assume the same setup would fit. I have a friend who has a 997 turbo and needs a new battery, would it fit that car?

Would the mount fit a 987.2? If so I'd be in for the group buy.
