need new BETTER battery. Is Arc-Angel made by Dohon ?

[cobrakid]

hey guys, I am trying to obtain this week and new better than stock battery.
I want lighter, and better to support the drag racing cool down, intercooler stuff at the track.
Lately my factory battery, only a year old keeps dropping the CHILLER....as battery seems low.

the Arc-Angel seems to work great for a few youtube members, and simply looks like
the Dohon with an Arc-Angel sticker on it. (?)
It looks great, as it literally bolts in stock dimensions but 18lbs compared to oem 44lbs.

I can charge mine up over night, . . .and it is fine, then a week later...riding around CHILLER NOT AVAILABLE.

ain't nobody got time for dat! . . . and not taking to dealer so some yahoo, can want me to leave my car overnight.

Please advise, thanks,
--chuck was also thinking AntiGravity RS30... but hard to find. (?)

After replacing 5 batteries, I now have a Optima which hasn't given me any problems. It's not light but it works.

He had been working on building the battery in the US but it has been a slow process. I was suppose to be doing some testing for him back in 2020 but he was behind on the batteries. I ended up going a different route and bought one off of Amazon last year. Has worked great so far and is lighter

Other options include:
- Darrell Cox Li-ion, supposedly weighs even less than the Arc Angel 94R
- anti gravity lithium
- Carlysle racing lithium
- Braille lithium

Batteries are a pain in my ass. 3 of em in 4 years. Still under warranty, but still a pain. Warranty up in July so I am getting prepared. Good info.

I was an Optima user in the old days, then in the mid to late 2000s the quality control and customer support went to shit (in my opinion). Haven't touched them since.

They were bought out by Johnson Controls & production was moved to 'ole mexico - quality has never been the same, tho some still swear by them.

I went with Power Tex H-8. Just checked their site, sold out at this time. They have a 5% off, but don't know when they will be available.

All I know is that I needed a battery on Sunday and it was available. I've had much better results than anything else so far.
Knock on wood that it continues after having 4 other brands fail in 3 years.

Go check it right now mike! After that statement you jinxed yourself!

Good find, they seem to have really good prices compared to the other Li-ion offerings.

I’ve had an Arc Angel for 5 years and it spins my Hellcat like it’s on steroids every time. Stills Checks in every time at 14.1/14.2. Even after setting for 2 weeks with no tender and it has a ten year warranty.

Sounds like a great battery.

So you spent $1K on your battery?

Oh hell no. I got in early and paid a lot less then that. I got one and had it waiting in the garage for my Redeye delivery.

I got sticker shock when I went on their website.
