Battery replacement programming

[NewSupraOwner]

...and it worked like a charm. New battery is in and registered, no codes.

Thanks @Loco38SUP and others!

Also, I'll add that I learned a ton from this process. This thread helped me to believe that battery registration and matching is legit -- it's a way to optimize the power draw of the battery over time to help it last longer.

FYI - if your new battery is identical in type and amp rating, you can skip step 1 and go straight to registration.

Here is my OEM battery for reference.

The battery is 63 pounds?!?!?!

Yeah, lol. That's why we use the antigravity ones.

Almost 64 LBS, its a chunker for sure.

Its makes a big difference once you ditch it.

Is anyone running a Braille battery? It seems like those are at 5.5lbs.

Yes. Some of the fast cars run them. They require constant charging. Unless your car lives at the drag strip and in a trailer, this is not the battery you want. You want the Antigravity one.

I don't always like the things you say. You're going to cause me more money. But less headache. I'd rather the no headache. I always appreciate your insight. Do they just require like weekly charging? Or more often?

For Anti Gravity is a H6 48 amp? 60amps? Is that what you would recommend? Other suggestions tips? I think this may be the route I'll go now.

More like constant charging.

Stupid question but, don't we want all that weight in the back to help balance the car out so it's closer to 50/50?

yes but not too much.

It really depends on your driving style. If you’re a track rat then yes. But lets be honest most of us are doing straight line launches with the occasional spirted on/off ramps.

I was able to drop 75.8 LBS and it made a decent difference on launches and 60-130 mph times.

- Anti Gravity Battery (-46.6 Lbs)
- Courtesy Cover (-5 LBS )
- Cheezy tire fix kit (-4.2 LBS )
- Covid gut (-20 LBS )

Total weight reduction = 75.8 LBS

I'm curious if you've had any issues running the 60 Ah battery. I daily my Supra and would really like to grab one of these. I imagine the sound system would be the biggest source of charge consumption, though I'm on the stock 3.0 Premium system.

Any thoughts on running even lower Ah ratings?

No issues at all with the 60 aH model. I don’t daily my car so I connect it to a Ctek battery tender after every drive.

If you daily with this battery setup you should be fine not using the battery tender.

I wouldn’t recommend anything lower than 60 ah unless its a trailered only track car.
