It would have been the mid to late 90's when we (my father and I) experimented with this. Just had a look at a small forklift motor 24v 2800rpm series wound, its a bit of a power waster unloaded, but might make a solar powered something out of it.
Those Headway cells are pricey, (Hi drain cells seem to have a short life) they may be had cheaper from Alibaba or Made In China outlet, the manufacturer may be listed there, quite often thats where these local suppliers get them from, A few catches though, usually sold in bulk and shipping would have to be arranged yourself or by some middle man or broker arrangement or whatever they call it, don't forget customs charges as well, could be cheaper than the horrific shipping charges seen on Aliexpress.
