So im pretty into this but scared by all the horror stories of LI batteries and ford “smart” charging not playing well together. What gives?

Not too sure. I saw 1 guy on the forum had really bad luck with both brands which I feel bad but I’ve had an amazing experience.

I’ve been running my battery for 2 years now with no trickle charger yet. I actually bought it during the early pandemic but didn’t install it until late 2021

I run it at Thunder hill and Sonoma regularly. Also hit buttonwillow, auto club as well as Willow springs on occasion. Mine usually sits from ~October-March with an occasional cars n coffee here and there.

I would be careful about static long term idling though. Heat soak will trigger the BMS and shut down power. When it cools off you’ll be good to go.

That’s just my experience and everyone’s differs.

Good morning,

I use the ATX-20HD.

I also have an ATX20HD in my car. It has been almost a full year with mine and I have no complaints. Cranks over my car easier than the oem battery did even with E85. I have noticed if I am on the track or the canyon It does take an extra crank or 2 to start but otherwise flawless

I also run the ATX20HD. I have a parasitic drain which effected the stock Ford battery also. So I have to hook up a battery tender to it. The starter spins well and I have had no issues.

I have been using the ATX20HD for a year, with 10 weekends at the track and zero issues. I use a trickle charger recommended by antigravity between track events but have never had to jump it at the track, even if we do back to back sessions.

Hey fellow track enthusiasts, Just to follow up on a members inquiry, the battery tray will support S197 fitment!
