Installation and Review: AntiGravity 12 Cell YT12-B Ultra-Lightweight Lithium Battery

Follow up.
This battery has proven itself to have been a solid investment.

Just fired up the sled after sitting 6 months and she cranked Hard and Fast with NO hesitation at all. The battery clearly holds a GOOD charge while sitting. Hooked up my lithium charger just to be sure and it tested out in great shape and only pulled down a MINIMAL charge.

STRONGLY RECOMMEND a lithium battery to all Yamaha 4 stroke owners

I also think you get what you pay for when it comes to these type of batteries. There was a bunch of hype last year about lithium batteries and the market was flooded with several less expensive and a few more expensive units . I have notice that there have been a few reports about the less expensive lithium alternatives failing in a short period of time. I still see cold weather being a problem but if you take precautions you can comfortably work around this issue.
 
If you read back through my review you will see that the COLD didn't really turn out to be much of an issue.

It just required that you follow a specific start up procedure that allows the Lithium Battery to "Self Heat" and warm itself up.

I really had NO issues at all.
 
Seen a few guys in Revy have issues with the Lithiums. Stranded lol. All brands included. Why pay 300 for a battery that can/will give you so much grief, when you can pay a 1/3 and get just as much life out of it. If you need to save the extra 2lbs to ride better maybe invest the other 2/3rds in a riding school !

I guess i will give mine up when if gives me the grief that you are describing. I guess these batteries only give the guys who can ride grief :face-icon-small-ton I obviously cant ride and never had any grief from mine
 
10lbs ? That will really make a huge difference on a Nytro ! Not LOL. When that battery quits it will still feel like a 700lb turd trying to pull it off the mountain ! When the heli comes you will be begging for an extra 100lbs lol
 
if thats the case then there is no reason for you to be hating on this, as it is absolutely NOT a **ity after market product.
 
Just having fun with some friendly banter while we wait for the snow to arrive.

Now that I have a sled with a battery, I ordered the AntiGravity FTX12-16 for my '14 Pro along with the cheaper charger to maintain it.

I hope it's as trouble free for me as yours was.
 
Is the YT12-B still the battery model to buy for the nytro?

I think their selection has grown In a year !
 
Good Question.
I have not re-visited their page in a while.
Let me go look at what they are offering for 2013.

Went ahead and installed the charger adapter to the battery tonight.
Been good and COLD around here lately getting down around -10 at night which has been taking a bit more time to "warm up" the battery while trying to get the sled to crank over. So after I got her started this evening I decided I might as well install the little pigtail for the battery tender to keep her 100% topped off.

and all that is left when the sled is buttoned up, making it OH SO EASY to charge the battery now!!

Sled has been sitting for the last 6.5 months.
Will be interesting to see if she cranks over on the first try tomorrow when I bring her up out of storage.
