I just got a Hawker Genesis battery, and this thing is sweet! Weighs 13.5 lbs and is the same size as my FSM! :eek:

It's basically a rebadged Dyna-Batt, or actually, the Dyna-batt is a rebadged Hawker.

Anyway, it doesn't have positive and negative posts. Instead it has holes for screws. SO does anybody know anywhere online or local where I can buy battery posts with a M6 (6x1mm) thread?

Thanks in advance.

They are for a GM side post. Go to autozone, or wal-mart, they should have 'em.

I believe the GM side posts are 3/8" and are too large to work without drilling the hole out a little bigger. I will probably go buy some and try it though just to be sure.

Thanks!

hey, tommy-where did you get the batt and how much did it cost?

I did just the same thing, only with a Odyssey PC680 battery. Picked mine up at Batteries Plus, and they didn't have the terminals in stock. I don't think you'll find them at any autoparts stores because the threads are smaller than the typical side mount/posts threads.

The set of posts that i bought either allow you to use the typical circular mounting posts, or the new screw in ones (ignore the cardboard, its temporary):

Try this:

Go to http://www.hepi.com or http://www.odysseyfactory.com/odybuy.htm and find your nearest distributor. They either have or can get them. Living in Portland, OR I found a distributor that was willing to meet me on Sunday afternoon and sell me a set. :)

I'm still working finalizing the mounting and insulating for it, but everything else has gone quiet well. It'll make room for my cold air intake (in design).

Thanks Luminus! I will definitely try that. :)

JDM_2nr, I got the battery from gotbatteries.com for $81 shipped. It is $69.95 plus $10 and change shipping. It says it is 13lbs but the UPS tracking number said the package was 11lbs!! :eek:
