Unless anyone is aware of new deep cycle batteries for less then $90 each? the more AH the batteries have, the less we need.Edited by matter45 2012-03-29

You may get more rejections on the phone. I find an impromptu pop in and chat works well, & sometimes they can point you to someone else who can help. sPuDd.. It should work ...in theory

They also service the military to which they change over every two years. I also spoke with the battery wholesalers and depends on the branch you can register your interest and they can offer you the changed over ones.
