Re: Antigravity Battery - too good to be true?

Because I'm drinking the EarthX coolaide, and because I'm a lazy ass, I recently replaced my AntiGravity Battery with two EarthX Jump Packs (one for each plane).

For the lazy ass part I can't be bothered with actually going to the trouble of attaching alligator clips to the battery terminals when I need to either charge or jump start a battery so I also purchased two 48" Long Quick Connect Charging/Jump Start Cables w/SAE Connectors which I attached to the battery terminals.

This allows me to hook up either the aforementioned EarthX Jump Pack or the Optimate Lithium Battery Charger with BMS Reset.

The only problem I've had with the EarthX batteries is on the SQ2 after the plane has sat for a couple of months. But on my other plane, after sitting for even longer, I don't have any problems. I swapped batteries and the problem remained with the SQ2 so I'm suspecting a small battery drain which is being investigated.

I ordered the EarthX jump starter package today and she was able to give me the Pac NW discount, which was totally worth it.
