Ordered one this weekend via Amazon. Should be here tomorrow. Looking forward to installing it on my battery-eating C2S. I'd like to compare notes with other 997.1 owners re: parasitic drain.

My Cayenne had set for a week so I knew the battery would be low. It started and I drove it around. Then laughed battery tracker. It works as advertised and showed that the battery had charged to 100% Really helpful for the Cayenne because the battery is under the driver's seat and a pain in the a$$ to get to. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

So crazy that these cars kill batteries like they do. If I knew how to disable/rip out the alarm and other stuff that's "awake" or even "sleeping" while still sucking lots of juice while the car is doing absolutely nada, I would.

Does anyone have both the tracker and CTEK hooked up to their battery at the same time ? Just wondering if I can use the tracker to monitor what CTEK is doing.....

The description on Amazon doesn't match the title. Is the AG-BTR-2, the correct model to order for lead acid batteries?

Yes, it is correct according to Antigravity's own website. That's the one I ordered so I hope it's right!

Thanks. I'll order one now. I'm always near the car but I may not drive it for a week or so. This sounds like a good solution.

You might order using this instead, it's showing as next day delivery if you have Prime. Plus, it's a couple bucks less.

You should certainly be able to do this, but to add a little additional info so everyone has a better idea of how the tracker works, The percentage value is more so based on voltage vs actual capacity...and the voltage number is the more accurate to follow. So with a charger connected you should see you're voltage go up but likely still maintain that 100% value. Hopefully that makes sense but of course always feel free to reach out with any questions.

And in regards to the models of the Battery Tracker. BTR-1 will be lithium and BTR-2 would be for lead/acid compositions.

Best regards,
Chad

And a word to the wise...

I had a Porsche-branded CTEK that had a "Lithium" setting, however, it did NOT work on my Antigravity battery -- apparently it only works on Porsche Lithium batteries (though that is not made clear ANYWHERE that I could see). I had to order CTEK's Lithium-only charger -- which I did through Antigravity's website -- and it works great...very happy with it.

What really frosts my ***, though, is that when I contacted CTEK to ask why their Porsche-branded charger would not work with my Lithium Antigravity, they said I had to contact the OEM. They would not even attempt to answer. Great customer service. Not.

So I contacted Suncoast, who I bought it from, and they said to go to my nearest dealer. Horseshoes.

Very happy with my Antigravity and how the CTEK Lithium charger performs, along with the Battery Tracker, but CTEK as a customer-centric company can take a hike.

Thanks Bob, good to know. My Porsche branded CTEK broke so I am using Noco genius5 now. So far so good, I like it.

The Noco genius5 LEDs are more informative and have newer technologies. Besides it offers more functionality and it is cheaper than CTEK

For those that want the wifi capability for remote locations, Battery Tender makes one. Might not be as good as the anti-gravity but I am sure its fine for your beach house toys.
