Product Description
Reliable Starting Power for Peace of Mind
The Hawker SBS J16 aircraft battery gives you total confidence every time you pre-flight your aircraft. Weighing only 14.8 pounds, it packs a massive punch for its size. It provides strong cranking power for fast, crisp engine starts whether you are flying on a freezing winter morning or a hot summer afternoon. When fully charged, it can sit on a shelf for up to 2 years at room temperature and still have plenty of power to start your plane. It is a perfect fit for seasonal fliers and experimental aircraft owners who want a battery that is ready when they are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to top off the Hawker SBS J16 battery with water?
A: No. This is a completely sealed and maintenance-free battery. You never have to check acid levels or add water. Don’t attempt to unseal or introduce any liquid into the battery, as doing so will permanently damage the unit.
How should I store this battery if I am not flying for a while?
A: Keep it in a cool, dry place. Because it discharges very slowly, it can sit for up to two years without needing a recharge. However, using a smart battery tender is a great way to keep it in peak condition.
Is the SBS J16 battery safe to ship?
A: Yes. It is classified as non-spillable and non-hazardous for air and ground transport, which means it ships safely without expensive hazardous material fees.
What type of charger should I use with the Hawker SBS J16?
A: Use a smart charger that is compatible with 12-volt AGM batteries and capable of constant voltage output between 14.4V and 15.0V. Avoid older standard chargers or high-output automotive chargers that do not automatically regulate the charging voltage, as improper charging can reduce the battery’s performance and service life.
Can the Hawker SBS J16 battery be used in aerobatic aircraft?
A: Yes, it can. The Hawker SBS J16 aircraft battery features a sealed dry-cell design, making it safe to mount in almost any position. It can handle high G-loading and heavy vibrations during extreme maneuvers.

Customer Reviews

Battery is powerful and started engine after 2 weeks of sitting in the box before install. Has performed well since. Battery is almost half the weight of my previous one, and I look forward to many years of service with this purchase.
I ordered this lighter weight battery to replace the heavier one in my airplane. Fast free shipping, great price. Works great so far.
Found this online after a search and the pricing was good shipping was free received it promptly not damaged heck I’m impressed sure going to remember this place.
Battery fit easily in the battery box for Van’s RV7. Only a small amount more than an Odyssey PC680 but this battery is advertised to have more CCA. It cranks my I0360 easily and I am hopeful that it maintains its longevity as advertised. So far so good.
Super fast shipping, installed in my aircraft battery box, shimmed with closed cell foam. A perfect fit. With 12.9 Volts out of the box, it turned my engine over with ease. An excellent battery company to buy from.
Used these batteries in small aircraft for years and they are the best that I have used.
