Re: (ET) time for a new pack...

Ah! I just got off the phone with the Interstate Battery distributor here 
in 
Seattle about Trojan T105's et al.  they don't carry the 125 and 145 but 
do 
carry the U2200, 2300, and 2500.  The U2500 at 11 1/2 inches long, I think 
is 
too long to fit but the u2200 and u2300 sound like they will.  The list 
price 
on these suckers is over $100, supposedly.  I was quoted 53.95 for the 
2200 and 
56.95 for the U-2300.  anybody else what some of these at this price?  FOB 
Seattle.  I'd be glad to make a big order.  :^)
