Default Small car battery doowap

I remember reading that someone was selling those super small and light batteries for cars and i don't remember what their called. I just remember that it was the same battery as the other people sell for $100, but for around like $30.

Also where can i get one and are there any Cons about the battery as far as cold start up or giving out enough cold crankin juice?

thanx.

Hawker batteries. They are a alternative to Dynabatt batteries. The 2 types of Hawkers I have seen people use are the Ge or Gp 13 (11lbs) and the G16ep (13 lbs, same as the Dynabatt). I have had the G16 for about a year now, only had to jump it once after it sat for Dec and Jan.

The series letters may be off a little but the 13 and 16 I am pretty sure about.

Actually Hawker makes the Dynabatt. (or at least they used to) I used to have a nice link to a DSM page that described the differences in these type of batteries. You can get them for about $50 on ebay. I just sold a PC680 there actually.

Yes, the Dynabatts are just rebadged Hawker 16s and are approx $50.00 cheaper.

No problem.
They are not sold locally that I know of. Ebay is where I got mine.
