Applications Motorcycles Hawker Odyssey batteries make ideal main/starter batteries for motorcycles. They are specified as original equipment for many bikes, including Harley Davidson, Moto Guzzi and the Honda Gold Wing. The Hawker Odyssey batteries are designed to deliver the current for repeated starting, and recharge quickly so you're always ready to go. Jetskis and other watercraft The Hawker Odyssey are ideal as starter batteries for jetskis and similar sized watercraft. For larger boats and yachts, larger Odyssey batteries such as the PC1200 and PC1700 are ideal. They're built to handle the shock and vibration from the waves! 4x4 and Offroad If you've got an electric winch on your 4x4, then you already know that it would be foolish to run it from your starter battery, and risk not being able to restart when you've finished the pull. You need a second battery on a split charge to power the winch, but which one is best? Put simply, the Hawker Odyssey PC1200 and PC1700 batteries are designed to deliver the current and to be deeply cycled - exactly what is required for your winch. But what if you haven't got a winch? All those extra lights put an extra strain on your starter battery - so you need one that will cope. The Hawker Odyssey is ideal for this too - it's lighter than similar capacity conventional batteries, and is capable of running all those extra accessories with ease. Robot Wars and robotic combat This is a relatively new application where high current capability, robustness and low weight are very important. Almost all successful robots use an electric drive system, and winning a battle can often depend on the batteries going the distance. The Hawker Odyssey range is ideal, capable of withstanding high impacts and vibration, being able to work in any orientation, and providing a large capacity for their size and weight. They are capable of supplying very high output currents, and withstanding the deep and frequent cycling that robotic combat requires. Knight Battery Sales sponsor Tornado, one of the most powerful and successful robots in the UK. Tornado is considered by many to be one of the fastest and most manoeuvrable robots, and this is to a large extent due to it running exclusively on Hawker Odyssey batteries, supplied by Knight Battery Sales. Visit the Tornado website for more information. However, some teams find cost their most important consideration, and in these cases we can supply batteries from the Kobe range. Although not able to supply such high output currents as the Hawkers, they are a cost effective solution for those teams on a budget. Golf Cart/Trolley Golf buggies, carts and trolleys require a battery that is capable of a long standby time with a more modest peak output when in use. The Sonnenschein and Kobe ranges of batteries are ideal for this, and there is likely to be a standard battery in their ranges for every trolley. Contact Dave Knight and find the battery to fit the trolley you use. Emergency Vehicle Starter Packs Emergency starter packs are becoming more and more common, as a way to start those vehicles that you don't use that often, or could do with a new battery. The Hawker Odyssey range is ideal for these starter packs - the low self discharge means that it will be ready to go when you need it, while the high output current will mean that starting is almost guaranteed. Sure, a Gel or Lead Calcium battery will start your vehicle once or twice, but the high currents required will excessively shorten its life, and by the fourth or fifth time you want to use the starter, it's unlikely it will work, leaving you high and dry. UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) UPS batteries don't last forever. Here at Knight Battery Sales we can supply cost effective replacements for the batteries you are already using in your UPS from the Sonnenschein and Kobe ranges, or higher performance alternatives from the Hawker range. Performance, Race and Rally Cars, Emergency Vehicles In a situation where only the best is good enough, where weight matters, and where the vehicle must start when required, then a sealed lead acid battery is essential. The reliability, low weight, and shock + vibration resistance afforded by the Hawker Odyssey ranges makes them ideal for the task. In Car Audio When you're parked up with the stereo playing, whether you're just with your mates or at a show, you need a reliable battery so you can play louder for longer, and still start your engine again afterwards! The Hawker Odyssey makes an ideal replacement for your main starter battery in this situation, or you could go so far as to fit a second battery for the most rock solid of power supplies - again a Hawker Odyssey would fulfil this requirement. And yet more... These are just some of the many applications of the Sealed Lead Acid batteries that we supply here a Knight Battery Sales. Don't worry if your application isn't listed here - give Dave Knight a call and discuss what you need.
