$350 is a bit high.. I've bought replacement batteries from here many times without issues: http://www.powersupersite.com/MZIproducts.cfm?full=1&ID=RBK12-f 175.00 + ~25 shipping for the RBC12 > The battery consists of eight smaller units, wired together.

I'd say probably so, but dont blame me if they explode. useful info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-acid_battery -- Dave _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
