Default DynaBatt vs Hawker Genesis G16EP

Is anyone familiar with the Genesis G16EP battery? After reading the research, they appear to be one and the same (DynaBatt is a rebadged, HIGHLY marked up Genesis G16EP).

I'm on the verge of buying the Hawker, but I wanted to see if anyone on here had any experience with them first.

Any thoughts?

I bought the Genesis battery about 6 months ago (after reading that article). But unfortunately I haven't had time to install the battery yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Do you to buy an adapter for the battery to be used with the GM battery connectors. If you have to something, where do you buy it and all other parts to make it work on the LS1 engine. I notice this battery weight eleven pounds whereas the dyna weight 13.5 or am I off target.

Yeah, I am very interested in this too, what adaptations are needed?

Some of those links in the article do not work. Most of them don't actually. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I don't know what all the specs mean but its lighter and higher in some specs..lower on the other. Which battery would be better for a strack battery. Would these work with a remote mounted battery?

So... which model would be good, and changes are needed since we have side post battery cables.

I have had a dyna bat in my car for a year now. I've only had to jump the car once and that was when the car sat for a week during record low temperatures. You cannot just leave the headlights or radio on though, for this is sure to kill it.

You can purchase adapter posts at any automotive parts store. Mine were called "marine adapters" and they simply slide over the post. Once there they extend up about an inch and have a threaded hole the size of the stock battery connections.

Cool I will definitely be picking up one of these <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> 18 pounds lighter is sweet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Then out with the bumper support for a total of 40 pounds off the nose <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Cheers,
Chris

No, your computer will not have to relearn.

I can't believe how much those Dyna-Batts are marked up! I think I'll order one of these also
