I'd much prefer lithium crystals.

These are Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, which are being sold by numerous vendors now including Russ Bost on here. The
"Antigravity" name is a bit stupid though, unless they are genuinely weightless
Still not entirely sure why these people won't quote capacities, it's a standard feature/parameter of every cell in existence.
The chemistry of these cells means they'll be permanently damaged below 11.2V and above 14.4V, cumulatively, so you'd best be sure your alt
regulation is good and =<14.4v and you never let it go lower than the 11.2. Unless it comes with built in circuitry to keep it within those
parameters, which I don't think it does. While no battery likes being over or under-volted, lithiums of all chemistries die pretty quick when
abused. You'll need a lithium charger for it too as they don't like being charged at more than C/1 (which is why you need to know the real
cell capacity) or being trickle charged at too high a current.
