I got mine at https://www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/sligc110 - Batteries + Bulbs . They were the 215AH models. So far, they are working out well. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

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.
