Steve A Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 would anyone be able to help me in locating a Hawker Battery for my FFR Landrover, unable to afford new, so looking to buy a decent second hand battery. They seem a little bit like gold dust, I think I have been looking in the wrong places Any help greatly appreciated Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 If you still have the old battery, this thread is worth reading:- http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?51084-Hawker-UK6TNMF-Batteries I found the quote below on:- http://forum.militarylightweight.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2654 "The Hawker UK6TNMF's dimensions have not changed since the original UK6TN spec was issued in '73/4". So a more modern battery maybe easier to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 As said in the linked thread, try to recover them with a decent pulse charger such as PulseTech. If you use a conventional charger designed for wet lead acid batteries you'll kill them. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve A Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Sorry for you delay in getting back to everyone, got a tad busy, thank you for the posts . I have tried the pulse tech charger route, sadly to no avail, I think the batteries are truely dead, I am trying again but don't hold out much hope so still looking for replacements, if anyone has a live battery please get in contact. I am located in Sussex if that helps and more than willing to pick up within a reasonable distance. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve A Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks for this, I have 4 which I found in the battery storage Hi do you still have the batteries? If so, are you up for a sale, only really looking for one though Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Steve Yes at the moment, I do not know if they will charge as yet, they say they are about 20 years old found in the Land Rover Not sure what I am going to do with them yet.

Steve A Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi All Still seeking a battery, if anyone has one for sale (that holds a charge), please let me know. Many thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Give this a crack... The Baking Soda trick won't work with a Hawker - they're a sealed AGM battery, not a conventional flooded lead acid. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Those aren't Hawkers, just normal wet lead-acids. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Fooled by the description "Nato type 6NT" and now I've enlarged the image I can see the 6 caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarland Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Been recommended Varta J3's in place of the UK6TN/TNMF's - apparently have the same footprint. Ok, a conventional Lead Acid Battery rather than AGM but obviously cheaper than dealing with Armasafe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob042 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Fooled by the description "Nato type 6NT" and now I've enlarged the image I can see the 6 caps. The original 6TN's were wet, 6 cap. I know of one company that (I think) still has them, dry stored but available filled. Here is the original spec; UK6TN spec.pdf Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
