F. Atlee Dodge HAWKER STC
Only two batteries came up during discussion with consumers at my 2019 SUN 'n FUN exhibit, Concord and Hawker SBS J-16. Concord, being an established battery supplier, produced positive experiences. Hawker consumers were most excited about one characteristic of the SBS J-16, durability. Price of the Hawker was rarely discussed.
This page will provide wire pricing, customer installation photos and information about the F.A. Dodge STC/PMA battery tray with Hawker SBS J-16 battery as well as other battery options. I would really appreciate installation tips and photos from future PPH customers.
