(ET) Battery prices

["Matthew callahan" <callahanrc hotmail com>]

Bill,

It depends on how much you use the E12.  if it's only a little, i would 
strongly recommend checking out local golf cart shops to see if they sell 
used batteries.  While those are not good enough to run a golf cart across a 
18 hole course once or twice, it is just fine for the tractor, and you could 
get them really cheap there (i bought a set of two year old trojan batteries 
used for only $35 each a while back and those could last ten years if you 
took good care of them).  I've heard of others buying used batteries for $10 
each (Imagine that!).

If you are adamant on getting new ones, they should go for about $45 each 
for a generic brand golf cart at Sam's club (but i like the idea of getting 
trojan "blems" for $50 instead)

Cheers

Matt

I've checked my charger and my batteries by load and spec gravity and am
ready to buy new lead-acid batteries for my E12. Local dealers now want
$75 per battery in the KC area. Have they jumped in price? Where is best
price? Sam's Club? Costco?.....??? Thanks for any help
