It has a higher peak power rating than other chemistries. It has a very constant discharge voltage, meaning its voltage will stay high and stable until the battery is totally exhausted. It has a longer cycle life than most other batteries. Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry offers many advantages over other batteries including other types of lithium-ion batteries.

This is a variant of the common Lithium Cobalt Peroxide lithium-ion batteries found on nearly anything that needs a rechargeable battery. The ATX-30 uses Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry. This does NOT include when a regulator has failed and allows system volts to constantly rise above 14.8. The circuity also protects against occasional spikes in voltage beyond 14.8. This prevents it from being used in an application with too much power demand for what the battery is intended for. The circuitry prevents the vehicle from draining the battery below 8 volts during cranking. This is good for preventing “parasitic drain” issues that many newer cars have. The restart battery has internal circuitry to prevent the vehicle from draining the battery below 12 volts over time. If your car has a dead battery because you forgot to turn the light off or something, you can push the restart button and it will activate a circuit that has enough power to start your car. The ATX-30 battery has AntiGravity’s restart technology. Comparing the ATX-30 to the popular PC680 lightweight racing battery, which has 550 cranking amps and a capacity of 16 amp-hours, the ATX has a lot more capability.

The capacity of the battery is 32 amp hours which is a bit less than a typical series 24 battery which is 50 amp-hours or so. The AntiGravity ATX-30 battery has a whooping 880 cranking amps, this compares to the 650 cranking amps for a conventional lead-acid or AGM heavy duty series 24 battery that came in the car. AntiGravity recommended their ATX-30 battery in a MeleDesign Firm mounting box that was specifically made for the battery and the Subaru’s engine compartment. We also wanted to have a secure way to mount the battery if it had a smaller than the OEM footprint. We wanted a powerful yet lightweight battery that had plenty of reserve power for a street-driven car in daily use. We made a call to AntiGravity Batteries for tech advice.

After all, this is a full street car with all of the street car accessories like a stereo, AC, power windows, etc. We knew that Lithium batteries could save a lot of weight but we didn’t want a fiddly super light racing battery that would have to live on a trickle charger or be constantly on the edge of not being able to meet the car’s power demands. While we are going through Project GD STI, repowering it and upgrading many of its systems, we thought it would be nice to replace the car’s heavy AGM battery with something lightweight that takes advantage of new battery technology.
