Thats cool.

Can you charge those with a standard battery charger or do you need a special battery charger?

Lithium ion battery needs a different charger. I am very happy with my AG battery. It starts up like nothing even after sitting for two weeks. Wish I had received the tracker as some ISF guys received it for free, but I will purchase it eventually.

P. S. The 30 lbs weight loss is impossible to tell, but it is there so I am happy.

I have the stock OEM battery in each car, not the Antigravity Lithium batteries

Lithium batteries do require a lithium compatible trickle charger

Never seen this. I assume the alternator charges it like a regular battery or does it need additional charging regularly?

It is only a battery tracker accessory that hooks on to the battery terminals and then you can connect to it via bluetooth on your phone to see how the health of the battery is. The battery itself has management system in it and re-start feature (built in jump starter). The battery itself works like a conventional battery so there is nothing additional required. I have a thread on the installation when I installed mine.

Does it drain battery? I'm sure with daily use it's negligible, but what if you let the car sit for a couple weeks?

I don't have the lithium batteries, I have the OEM stock batteries in each car

The parasitic drain is supposed to be negligible, but I guess we'll find out since it does track itself
