Lightweight battery

Im thinking of replacing my Vantage Bosch H8 battery -100AH and 24Kgs good for 3-5 years; with Lithium Itechworld ,Aussie made H6 battery ,120AH and only 8Kgs and used by many 4x4s . .Similar to Antigravity battery .and good for 8-10 years . Will see how ECUs put up with it.

It was on mid year sale and i got it for special price of $668au delivered from across the country where ITECHWORLD is in Perth .[itechworld.com.au] 2,500 miles [4000Ks ] away.
Same size H6 Anti-Gravity battery is few more hundred in US.$
Im using Lithium XS C-tek while car is parked.

Why i used this iTECHWORLD Lithium battery which is 60ah and 1300cca and 8Kgs, is because its same size. ie height and width as Vantage OEM battery, just about 3 '' shorter , so i can use Vantage hold down brackets and Vantage cables without any mods as iTECH uses SAE posts'..Made for 4x4s so starting a Vantage wont be a problem.
Richard on Redpants LOL uses a Braille AGM B3121 battery which has 31ah and is 9.5Kgs, and needs a special expensive hold down bracket. .He has had great success with them so i hope i will have same success with this battery. Braille is available now in OZ for nearly same price but with half the capacity.
There is also Lithiumax which i nearly bought but needs special bracket again and mods to cable and used on high performance,racing and rally cars .Now available in Germany.

Deadweight -UK; antigravity-USA and Itech world-OZ look like they using same casing !..
Itech maybe 8kgs but has 1300CCA and 1500 cranking amps., while Deadweight is 3kgs and only 650CCA.I like extra CCAs for starting after long sleep in the garage; price seems to be about the same . Anti-Gravity is much more expensive and about 9kgs
Air mail parcel from one country to another would increase that price quite a bit. Would be best to use home grown product

I was going to use a Lithiumax but cost more and needs special bracket to hold it in Vantage .Itech will do me if it works ok.
Swapping batteries in Vantage , Can i just connect trickle charger to terminals to keep a charge to the ECUs while i swap over batteries , ??or will I have have to reprogramme ECUs =windows , door mirrors ,firing order etc etc?.

Thanks for that , just that my model early 2 007 has not got a charge point. I'll just connect C-tek trickle charger to cables
