I have a good set of battery bags (obtained from Bill), but don't need 
them 
right now because I'm running gel batteries in the ET.

FYI, I don't really recommend gel batteries in this application because of 
the cost and the necessity for special charging (the ET charger can't be 
used).  The capacity is lower, too.  But I had them sitting around, so it 
made sense.  And they are still working well for me, about 4 years on.  

I'm using six East Penn 8G24 in series-parallel for 36 volts.  I run the 
lift tap at 24 volts and the light tap at 12.  No problems with it so far.
