Neither.
Both max out at 400 peak starting amps, which is about 400amps shy of the minimum to get my truck to turn over. I have a spare/second 1200amp battery in the truck on a parallel switch, so if the main battery dies, I can switch to the second battery. |

This is the one I just bought before winter. Used it on some of my heavy equipment as well.

I'm planning on buying the anti gravity someday soon. It is 12,000 mah. I need to compare those two more but that is the biggest difference so far.

I have the xp10 or whatever the biggest antigravity is. I used it to start a 5500 watt camper generator the other day with a completley dead battery. So I would highly recommend them. There I another thread around here with nothing but positive reviews.

Mine is a Rockford. It's great, I use it a bunch to jump cars, power extra stuff, and charge things. I've had it about two years now? Edit: It has started my F250 7.3 Diesel that had a dead cell in a battery, and a bunch of other things, including my Onan Diesel generator. It's amazingly strong. Almost as good as the bigger ones I used to have at my shop. |

My brother has the antigravity one. I think it's the one you posted. Kit looks the same anyway. He's an auto tech and used it quite a bit since he got it last fall, he likes it, easier than dragging a heavy jump box through snow. Looks like the price has gone down quite I think he paid much closer to $200 like 8 months ago.
Hope this helps. ETA; He has the XP-10 model 600w peak a little larger physically and more bucks. Guy he works with has the PPS and likes it. |

Are these batteries able to be left in a car or will storing them in extreme temperatures damage them?

I bought the Anti Gravity unit last fall. I'm completely happy with it's performance and ability to hold a charge. It saved my butt in the middle of nowhere and I've jumped my lawn mower and tractor with it. I like that it can be recharged by the truck Cig lighter if needed too. Good kit imo.
One thing I'd like to be able to do is to plug a radio etc. into it. There may be an adapter that does this and if so I'd buy one in a minute. |

The Antigravity XP-10 seems to be a favorite on ExpeditionPortal.com. More cranking amps for a little bit more money than the one you listed. There are reviews of a lot of these type batteries on ExPo if you are looking for some real world experience with them. Treat them like you would any other lithium battery.

Reviewed the Scorpion and bought one for work and two for home. The one at work has jumped two V8's in the last week. I put one in the wife's car and one in my truck. Just FYI, Walmart has one made by Whistler for 59.00, but it doesn't come with all the extra computer and phone adapters.

after reading some reviews i ordered an xp-10 antigravity for my truck. i have a noco gb-30 for my car and it's an awesome unit but will only start my truck if the battery can hold a charge.
got it in today. doing some testing i was able to easily start my truck on the xp-10 with the battery disconnected from the vehicle. to say i was shocked is an understatement. truck is a 96 suburban with the 7.4l gas engine. the xp-10 was on about a 50% charge and i got 8 easy starts before disconnecting it. battery was still over 20 charge at that point. side by side with the noco, the noco construction is FAR superior to the xp10. much better casing MUCH higher quality battery clamps. the clamps on the xp-10 are honestly cheap plastic that i wouldn't expect to survive frequent use or rough handling. i may replace them with some metal clamps if i can find some good ones that fit. having the option to power my laptop will also be a plus if i can find a correct adapter to fit my lenovo. for the price this is an ok unit with an excellent capacity and starting amperage but for the price they really should include some much better clamps. they are seriously cheap junk. |
