    I got an Anti-Gravity lithium battery for my 458. It will run you about $800 but weighs only 15 pounds compared to 45 pounds for OEM Ferrari 458 battery. Almost as important, it automatically shuts off when it senses that it is nearing complete discharge, so it leaves enough in reserve that you can then click on the "restart" button on the battery, and the car will fire up. Because of this feature, you also don't need a trickle charger (unless you will leave car in storage for multiple months). The Anti-Gravity battery option I got also features more cranks than an OEM battery. I bought my battery through Dan at "NormalGuySuperCar.com" and got a 10% discount through his site. I installed it two days ago so I don't have personal experience of the battery shutting down when it senses that it runs out of juice, but the NormalGuySuperCar web site has a video of just such a scenario.

    I got one for my 458 and it does indeed work as advertised?

    I can leave it off the charger and run it once a week with no problem!
