What plates are you referring to and what vibrations are you talking about?
CamaroCain: Is it ok to lay the battery down the way you have it in your pic? Why did you do that anyway? Did you have to buy the SAE posts for your particular battery? Thanks.

BTW, I have the battery. I can't believe their service! It showed up two days after I ordered. It looks good. The posts look good. Can't wait to get the engine back together!

Well...I hope that I made the right decision because its too late to change my mind. I went with the Hawker Genesis G16EP. I went ahead and got the posts as well even though I may not need them, but it was only $10, so what the hell.

Good luck!
Great thread - bringing it back from the dead, heh ! 
I just ordered the Hawker/Genesis today with the SAE posts. Can't wait, should be here in a few days. I'll work on fabbing a mount up when it arrives, thanks for the pic Lynda/CamaroCain !

You will like the hawker batteries,I have been useing them for several years in my race
motorcycles that would not start reliably with convetional batteries.These batteries are in many military vehicles which is a testament to their reliability.The metal jacket for the batteries is used for extreme enviorments,I do not use them in my bikes and have seen no failures.There is a wealth of tech info on these at the hawker/oddesy
web site for the currious types.I especially like the 8 to 12 year projected lifespan,
the no limit on input charging current,and 80% charge retention after 6 months of storage.

i've had the hawker genesis in my car for about 6 months now (using the thunder racing battery hold-down). i drive the car once every 3 weeks. its been freazing cold a few weeks ago, in the 10's, for a weeks time. the car started right up. hasn't let me down yet. and i barely drive it. so i'm happy.
one thing that is annoying, and the reason for my post, is because the gauges do the full-sweep thingy and my tripmeter resets the first time i start the car for the day. does this happen to anyone else using this type of battery?
