I read somewhere that the Hawker battery can't handle too much heat? Has anybody had problems with battery temperatures when road racing or open tracking? Taking another 17 lbs off the front in addition to the glass hood, gutting, etc would be nice.

I'm really thinking of getting this charger now. It's the same price as the battery but looks like it will do a full charge as well as maintain the battery. I'm just hoping it will fit in the car so I don't have to pull the battery to charge it all the time. I don't have a garage but I do cover the car, I doubt it will get wet.

Under the Odyssy heading it says it wont even try to charge a battery that is less than 2 volts, I'll have to check it first. If its lower I'll try and get a new battery under warantee then get a battery tender instead.

As for as charging it off of the alternater, its obvious I need some kind of charger anyway.
