(ET) Batteries

Hi
I agree with Harold on this. When it come to GC batteries you get what you 
pay for. Company branded batteries (e.g. Walmart, NAPA, etc) are often made 
by different jobbers and designed to be built at the lowest possible cost, 
as are most products in big box store, with little regard for quality and 
longevity. If you are looking for low cost batteries exploring the used 
market is a much better deal. If you looking for a new pack go for the best 
quality you can afford and the size you need, after all with a little care 
they will last you 7 to 10 years and you are still way ahead of you friends 
with gas tractors.
Personally I use Interstate or General Batteries, bought in 6's I get a good 
price and they are light enough for me to lift with out a chain 
hoist.(smile) Since most of my tractors are for show I don't need as high a 
capacity as some who might work them harder or longer.
Just My 2 Cents
