Hi, I'm looking to purchase a Hawker Odyssey PC310 battery, wondering if they are sold on the website and how much for. Regards Dave. |

David, We used to sell the PC range but we noted an increase in failure rate from our customers who used them in combat robots. As this was the largest application for us at the time, we decided to discontinue them. Also Hawker UK had a problem with us discounting the prices and were becoming rather unfriendly towards us. There is no denying that these batteries offer superb performance and we would certainly like to have them in our product range but not whilst there is quality issues (based on our previous experiences) and what came very close to unfair trading practices by Hawker UK. So sorry we cannot help at this time. |

Referring to the posts above will give the reasons why we stopped supply Hawker batteries. We do not offer an alternative. The Hawker Odessey has a very low internal resistance allowing for a high cranking current, standard SLA batteries like Haze and all others we have come across do not offer this. |
