Quick Tips!

VRLA is an acronym for Valve Regulated Lead Acid.
Hawker^&reg batteries are VRLA. An independent valve is located on top of each of the 6 cells. Each of those cells contain positive and negative plates that are made from 99.99% pure lead.

Answer to question from last issue:

Is there a calculation I can use to determine the “approximate recharge time” for pure-lead AGM batteries, like the Hawker^&reg and Odyssey^&reg brands? Answer: YES!

Did you know?

Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) is a standard battery industry rating referring to the amount of cranking power that a fully-charged battery has for engine start when temperatures are very cold. Specifically, it’s the amount of amps that a nominal 12-volt battery can deliver at 32^oF (0^oC) for 30 seconds while still maintaining at least 7.2 volts (that’s 1.2 volts per cell). For example, the Hawker^® ARMASAFE™ Plus battery has a CCA rating of 1225 amps.
