Hawker battery

[BLUEJAY]

Hi Gents, and Happy New Year !

I was thinking of getting a Hawker "sealed" battery for my 2003 F650GS.

Anyone has some feedback on it?
Is it worth the money?
Does it have more juice for starting up?

My original battery is not giving me any troubles actually. I am just worried of ruining the frame (acid spilling) in case of a drop....

I think TT has it (I do not seem to find it on their website), as well as Wunderlich...
..any other place?

Thanks
Cheers

Here's a recent thread on a battery from China that folks rave about. Don't know if you can get one over there - but they are cheap in the states.

I bought an Oddessey one from Manbat last year. Pricey but I've had no bother with it at all. Even when I completely drained it by leaving something on all day, after a night on the Optimate it was fine and has been so ever since.
