(Can also be activated manually by pressing Restart button on top of battery.) So it won’t allow you to get stranded with a dead battery! For example if you left your lights on, the intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) in each RE-START battery would put itself to sleep before being drained dead, yet save just enough energy to start your vehicle again and get you out of that emergency.

Wireless Keyfob Remote actuated Emergency Jump Starting. So you won't be stranded by a dead battery ever again! - FULL Battery Management System (BMS) including Over-Discharge, Over-Charge, Short Circuit, Thermal Protections and Cell Balancing. - RE-START TECHNOLOGY: The RE-START Battery has self-restarting capabilities. It intelligently monitors its status and if it senses over-discharge it will put itself into a sleep mode, yet saves enough energy to allow you to RE-START your vehicle. Simply press the wireless keyfob or activation button on the battery. - OEM FITMENT: Exact Lead/Acid Replacement sizes. No additional modifications or trays necessary to install. - LONGER LIFE: 2x to 3x the lifecycle of lead/acid and other Lithium batteries due to full Battery Management system. - HIGH POWER: Up to 3x the Cranking Amps of similar sized lead/acid battery. Better Starting and higher voltage at start-up. - ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT: The Antigravity RE-START Battery can be as much as 70% lighter than the Lead/Acid equivalent.

Antigravity LiFePO4 Lithium Battery installation We've been long-term testing and collecting datalogs of this battery type since last year on a daily driver/weekend warrior M4 with no absolutely no voltage issues or starting. While these steps are for M3/M4, same steps apply for 2-Series/M2: Comparison of OEM battery and Antigravity OEM battery weight @ 58lbs Antigravity weight @ 18.6lbs The Antigravity batteries come ready to install, no additional parts are needed. In this install, we used the H6-40-RS (60Ah) as it closely matches the OEM battery specs while shedding 11.5 lbs of weight over the stock battery. Its size allows the use of the factory battery hold down cleat without the use of battery adapters or trays. We also include a replacement negative cable with integrated IBS sensor, which keeps monitoring happy and in charging in check. Only tools needed is a 10mm socket. Open trunk, battery is located behind access cover of passenger taillight OEM battery location Remove negative cable first Remove (2) 10mm bolts holding in holddown bracket Unplug IBS sensor from battery cable Remove 10mm bolt holding battery cleat Battery cleat removed, set aside Remove battery vent tube Remove battery from trunk Install Antigravity battery and secure down with battery cleat Reinstall positive terminal Reinstall negative terminal Reconnect IBS sensor plug Reinstall battery holddown bracket Reinstall battery

Programming and Registration After installation is completed, the battery needs to be registered like OEM using AGM/LiFePO4 profiles either through ISTA, your favorite 3rd party device (Bimmercode/Bimmerlink), or BMW independent shop. For the H8-60-RS, choose 70Ah AGM setting while H8-80-RS will require the 80Ah AGM setting. This can be done at your local dealership or independent or as we'll describe shortly - at home using your iPhone. IMPORTANT: Do not skip these steps or it can damage your battery long term. For the DIY user, you will need the following iOS apps and OBD reader: Bimmerlink https://www.bimmerlink.app Bimmercode https://bimmercode.app Veepeak OBDCheck BLE OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner https://www.amazon.com/Veepeak-OBDCh.../dp/B073XKQQQW Bimmercode - Select vehicle and go into Front Electronic Module (FEM_01), select "Battery Type" Bimmercode - Change battery type to "70 Ah AGM" Bimmerlink - Select 12 V Battery Bimmerlink - Select "Register New Battery" Bimmerlink - Select "Same Capacity and Type" [B]Bimmerlink - Select "ok" Bimmerlink - Battery registered successfully - you're done! Job complete! Enjoy your new battery. If you have any questions, please ask in the thread or PM.

I have this battery (40 Amp) in my M2C.
Anti Gravity H7/Group 94R OEM Automotive Case size (directly replace stock battery) @15 lbs. I've had AG batteries in my last 3 cars and all 3 have been stellar. Big thumbs up on this mod..

It's a bluetooth device that hooks up to the terminals of the battery. From there you can download an app on the phone that shows you the battery life remaining.

As well as logging features. Very handy in determining battery draws with graphing.
