Do Hawker® ARMASAFE™ Plus 6TAGM & MILPC batteries have a warranty?
They sure do…but, most likely you won’t need it!

Answer to question from last issue:
About how much time should it take to recharge a drained Hawker® 6TAGM battery?
Assuming:
- it’s a healthy (fully-recoverable) battery that’s been discharged down to 11.5 volts OCV
(not sure what OCV means…it’s defined here www.hawkerbattery.com/resources/#faqs), and - the battery’s temperature is between 68oF - 86oF (20oC - 30oC), and
- the charger’s output voltage is between 14.4 – 15.0 volts DC
Then, the following table applies:
Note that the more amps the charger can provide, the faster the battery can be recharged!
Did you know?
that resistance is a unit of measurement of a material’s (e.g., copper, rubber, etc.) opposition to the flow of electrical current in a direct current (DC) circuit. Note that in alternating current (AC) circuits the equivalent is called “impedance”. The measurement for both is expressed in ohms. For either AC- or DC-powered systems, measurement is usually conducted using either an ohmmeter or a multimeter with an ohmmeter setting.
