i know this is an old thread, but, OMG, that's the cutest video ever.

 

What wheels are you running? They look great. Also seeing as how you are weight conscious do you know how much they weigh vs. stock?

 

How's the battery holding up?

 

Thanks for the kind compliment, And on Father’s Day no less!

 

It’s held up great, zero issues!

 

they look like HRE p101's the best looking on a vantage and pretty much most expensive wheels you can get lol

 

 

thanks for the reply! Yeah I was hoping you were not going to say those HRE LOL. So expensive but they fit the car perfectly! If you ever want to sell them let me know.

looks wonderful!

 

Is the 24ah enough for a daily driver? Generally drive 30 minutes a stretch, twice a day or more. $650 to save 40+ pounds is not bad.

 

What's the parasitic draw? I'm guessing the Aston comes with a massive battery because it's high, but if it's not that would be a pleasant surprise. IIRC 10-20mA is pretty normal on a lot of cars.

That Antigravity looks like it has pretty nice features, but lithium iron phosphate (probably manganese doped) isn't the best chemistry for car batteries, since it can't charge much below 0C. Lithium titanate weighs a little bit more but has almost an order of magnitude better cycle endurance especially at high charge rates (which you'll find in a car) and works at -20C just fine. For example if you have the 24Ah, it's not supposed to charge at any faster than 72A, which a car alternator is easily capable of providing if the battery is drained, but a 10Ah LTO can happily soak up 100A.

This one was on Amazon a few months ago for a much more attractive price: http://misolarenergy.com/shop/index....product_id=514
There are also high capacity LTOs direct from manufacturers e.g. this one (I'm guessing ~$400-500): https://lithium-titanate-battery.com...5s3p-30ah-12v/
