Why Hawker ARMASAFE Plus?
Today's military demands a higher standard of combat readiness and superior products such as the ARMASAFE Plus 6TAGM battery to deliver the power and reliability necessary to win on the battlefield. Since 2003 the ARMASAFE Plus has been fielded and installed in many applications earning it the nicknames of "Hawker battery" "A+" "HASP (Hawker ARMASAFE Plus)." Regardless of how the field refers to our battery, all names lead back to the same product, the ARMASAFE Plus 6TAGM battery.

The ARMASAFE Plus offers distinct advantages over the standard 6T series flooded cell battery:

  • More starting power with double the cold cranking amps
  • Starting power at 30% state of charge (approx 12.0 volts)
  • Up to 3 times the service life
  • 30 month shelf life
  • 18 month warranty
  • Ability to repeatedly recover from deep cycle discharge
  • More reserve capacity to power electronics longer
  • Ready to deploy as a non-spillable battery
  • Complies with DOT Hazardous Material Requirements
  • Ready for install from factory
  • Superior direct customer support
