WATER LESS®
Features and Benefits
• REDUCED-MAINTENANCE – By using proprietary grid
metallurgy, the HAWKER WATER LESS battery requires watering only
four times per year in normal applications. Less watering. Less
room for error. If for some reason the battery is watered more often
by using the general watering practice guidelines, the battery’s
performance will not be affected.
• SOLID PERFORMANCE – No need to sacrifice performance
for reduced maintenance. WATER LESS provides the full performance
of a flooded battery while still offering reduced maintenance.
• FULL CAPACITY – The WATER LESS battery offers full
85, 100 and 125 AH capacities.
• STANDARD CHARGING – May be charged on a standard charger
– no special requirements or special charger needed.
• LONG LIFE – The WATER LESS can help get you out of
the maintenance business. Your HAWKER dealer can set up a comprehensive
programmed maintenance agreement including watering your batteries.
This essentially offers you a “no maintenance agreement including
watering your batteries. This essentially offers you a “no
maintenance” battery option.
• ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY – The WATER LESS battery
produces 58% less hydrogen generation than its standard flooded
counterpart. In this case, less is definitely better. The less gas
that is emitted, the less water will need to be added. Less watering
means cleaner battery rooms, less hazardous waste water to dispose
of and less ventilation required. The result – and environmentally
friendly battery alternative.
