Hi Nathan,

A couple of years back a local scrapyard had a skidload of golf-cart
batteries for $20 each. My VW friends and I bought a bunch of these
and got lots of use out of them; they were slightly smaller than a
group 41 battery and had bolt-on terminals rather than posts.

If there's a supplier for electric golf-carts or forklifts around it
might be worth asking for a price quote.

Happy Trails,
