Back when I started getting into EVs, my first set of golf car batteries 
came from an industrial battery supplier and rebuilder.  His shop was full 
of forklift batteries and such in the process of being rebuilt.  He had 
stacks (literally) of golf car batteries waiting to be recycled.  I think 
I 
paid $10 each.  

I'm sure he got more than he would have gotten by recycling them, and I 
got 
a cheap set of batteries that gave me maybe 8-10 miles of range in my 
Comuta-
Car. In the end though it wasn't a good investment, because all it did was 
whet my appetite for more range.  A few weeks later, I bought a set of new 
batteries.  ;-)

     smiles, and good deodorants; but when it comes down to cases, 
     you do not want them to be monitoring your oxygen flow.  They 
     will set it to the minimum required to sustain basic brain
     function, and then they will recite a little prayer for you.
