(ET) batteries

["steves" <ssawtelle fcc net>]

If you need to save money (don't we all?) then do some searching for used
batteries. I had no luck with the local golf courses, but we have a really
good Battery Warehouse in town and the owner would let me know when he got
decent used T105s in. I managed to scrounge a whole set of batteries for 
the
E12S I gave my sister - so far so good. One was brand new just had a broken
post.  I paid $20 each for batteries that were load tested good.

Try golf cart repair places too.

A good point about used batteries when you start out with an unknown 
machine
is you won't feel too bad if  you abuse a used set of batteries while you
find out the charger isn't working right, or wires are shorted, etc.

Good luck,
