Re: (ET) batteries

In regard to Pieter's comment below, one of initial uses of my E12 will be
snowblowing, and i don't have a heated garage to store the ET in. Does that
rule out the option below?

I have mentioned  this before, but if you have a golf cart dealer in your
area, go ask about used  battery sets.  My E-12 will mow my 1/2 acre lawn
several times while  pulling a sweeper behind on a charge.  This on used
batteries I got  (tested) from a golf cart dealer down the road.  Cost?
$60 a SET  (that's six batteries to you non-believers)!!  I of course got
another set  right away for my E-15. <grin>  While it isn't as exciting as
driving  half way to the moon on perferct new batteries, it's a lot
cheaper, and I think  I got a good deal from my golf cart shop.  They also
took the old dead ones  to recycel for free, tested and charged the
replacement battery  set.
