Thread: New battery box

Tweet

Bob,
I was not aware of the Hawker Company being the one builder of AGM units - very interesting as you point out.

As I said in my earlier post, you might consider checking with the suppliers directly if you are shopping. When I contacted XS Power in March '10 their "special" was their S680 12V Combo Automotive Package, which included the S680 battery, SAE terminals (battery posts), and their 512 mounting box - I asked and they substituted their 511 Aluminum box which fit my needs better, all for $119 delivered to my door via FedEx. Summit offers the S680 which is the regular battery in a steel sleeve case, plus SAE terminals, but no mounting box. I cannot assure that you will get such a deal every day (or even today ), but that's what I got in March.

The information about metal purity and plate thickness came from the tech guy at XS Power - not unusual for them to bash the competition a bit, right??
