Will that solve the battery problem? Or is it a bandaid for a larger problem?
The battery (electronics) itself is a weak link. Replacement doesn’t fix a problem other than the battery electronics died and need to be made new again.
The LiFePOS ain’t your grandfather’s lead acid battery. It’s a battery + onboard electronics. Sadly.
I wonder if Porsche can just replace the battery for you. What are they doing for you?
So, what's the problem with the the anti-gravity batteries?
Even if they are 50 ah, for the $800 price, it should be a great deal simce Porsche’s batteries are flowed and not available.
The Porsche battery registration is the same as VW or any other Lithium-Ion battery registration if you, or a shop, has the right tools, which normally they do.
I have put 82,000 miles on my 2019 CS and my battery still going strong without the Porsche’s battery upgrade, but after seeing Porsche's battery fiasco/flop, I want to be prepared for when it comes.
I can do the LiFePOS4 battery registration with my own scanner that have a Lithium battery option.

Do antigravity batteries have a LIN connector? I’m no expert but do know that all wires need a home and the vehicle side has a LIN connector. Do AG batteries install with no CEL?
According to an antigravity rep, its the electronics and the connector that is proprietary to Porsche that prevents them of coming out with an aftermarket alternative.
I am hoping that, at some point, antigravity will obtain the ability to reproduce or purchase the module and connector from the OEM supplier bringing the battery cost to a more reasonable level.
The whole thing is infuriating. These stupid batteries are to help the start/stop function that many if not most owners couldn't care less about anyway. How much fuel cost is saved compared to paying $3000+ to replace the batteries even if you don't turn off start/stop every time you get in the vehicle like I do or use sport mode which also turns it off?
The math works for the OEM fleet MPG stats.
EPA mandates certain numbers, otherwise penalties are very hefty.
Start/Stop, on paper, helps with these figures. In real world, most of us despise that "feature" and naturally seek a way to disable it.
At the end, the actual cost of this "fuel saving measure" is passed onto the consumer though.
What else is new?

Agree it’s a product attribute that helps carmakers, and that consumers didn’t ask for. Like other electric product attributes…
Start-stop is the result of teaching to the (emissions regulations) test for carmakers.
I personally really dislike start/stop AND the minicomputer connected wifi hotspot computer crap. So useless and complicated in every car made after 2015. Just give us Carplay/Android Auto, and that's it.
I took the Cayenne in today (2019 Cayenne S) for the battery message. They told me there was a "recall" for it. My receipt says its recall campaign "WMJ9". Hopefully the message doesn't pop back up again...
