I have had Bulldog's start to fail in industrial uses within 6 months
of an install and wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole.
No good luck with US battery / interstate either, out of 6 packs of 12
batteries the cell failures were at least 3 cells out off each pack,
at just over a year old. Too late for the year replacement warranty
coverage.
Best,
Bob

We use IBE because we think they are a good quality battery. We want to verify this in light of new batteries and new suppliers.
Does anyone have experience with the Hawker batteries?
Thanks again,

My supplier shows higher cost and lower cycle life for the IBEs as
well. (2100 cycles for HUP vs. 1500 cycles, both at 80% DOD)
What other factors are making you consider them? I used to use
Bulldogs before HUP dropped their pricing a few years ago. The
Bulldogs are rated similar to the IBEs, and after 10 years, all is
well so far with those installs.
