Bob, I know you really want lead.. I was going to use 4 lead-acid batteries for my lawn tractor conversion. I thought I might get 4 used UPS batteries from a ham friend, but they were gone by the time I got to work on the project. I figured 4 lead batteries, new, would be a minimum of $150 each, or $600. I went Lithium instead. The battery + shipping was $500, the BMS another $150 - and of course, a new charger. I got something equivalent - or better - for about the same price, in a smaller package, with a high instantaneous power delivery (up to 200+amps at 48VDC). I got the battery and related items from Hybrid Auto Center in NV. For your 10 x 12V lead pack, you might just consider: http://hybridautocenter.com/HAC4/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=95&name=2015-5kwh-lithium-battery-pack-chevrolet-volt-111v-45ah-30-cells&Itemid=605 Which is a 111V 5kwh Lithium pack for $1295. I know, lead is cheaper... but is it?
