What kind of Hawker?
If it's of the high end range, like SBS, Datasafe, Oddysee , Genesis pure lead, just hook up a powersupply with 14.5V and as much amps it can deliver.

For many years I have used a car battery charger about 12A and charge 2 batteries together this has worked well. never had any problems, when I get home I then slow charge the batteries with a charger like a Pro-Peak This taks about 4 days as i have about 10 16Ah batteries.

Re: 8a sla charger

The Feed-in tariff rate for between December 12th and March 3rd is still the subject of appeal and counter appeal through the courts, which could take up to eight months to resolve.

While you may get 43.3p per kWh for commissioned installs between this time, it's also possible that you could end up with the 21p rate. It's entirely a gamble as to whether you'll get the high or low rate, just need to keep your fingers crossed!

Installs from March 3rd will be at 21p per kWh, still a good return rate

Re: 8a sla charger

Cheers, I will have to find someone else to gamble for the better rate !

Re: 8a sla charger

Hawkes are fine, you can use whatever size you want with them, just dont use the charger on any other sorts of SLA.

Re: 8a sla charger

When I hook up a set of hawkers to my power supply it pulls 40A for around a half minute and they're fine. I can't see you having any issues
