I got mine at Batteries + Bulbs. They were the 215AH models. So far, they are working out well.

We purchased our 6 volt batteries at Sam's Club.  If I remember correctly, they are 220 ah(amp hour) each and cost approximately $125 each.  There are a lot of batteries that are the same manufacturer but labelled with different names for different retailers.  the most important thing is the ah rating and the warranty.
