Some exciting news with lithium batteries. Optima is releasing a line of them for power sports. Might be a good option for the ftr.

Mike: Have you heard back from the owner of Antigravity Battery after they looked into your battery failure? I will be in the market for a new battery for my FTR this spring. The original OEM battery (it is still going strong) will be 4 yrears old in May 2023. I have been running the ATX-12-HD in my Scout and it has performed well so far. I will be going with a lithium battery for weight savings and would like to use Antigravity again.

When the Optima becomes available it will be my goto battery.
I have a pair of Optima batteries in my boat and they are going strong coming up on nine years now.

My OEM battery is still good but I'll be looking at these!
