Default A really big battery bank deal.

Do you have a Web site or contact?

Let me see, that would be 725 amp hours at 12 volts, or about the equivalent
of 10 large, deep cycle batteries, which go for around $100 retail. That's
about 2/3rds off, a good deal.

If they are slim, they would make a good keel for an electric drive
conversion.

Just got the latest Surplus Center catalog. If anyone wants a really
big bank they have a bunch of new Tyco rack mounted deep cycle gel
cells. 6V and 1450 AH for $300 each. They are built for large UPS
systems so I don't know how they would work in marine use and at 1500
lb. for a 12V bank you would need a pretty big boat but you would only
need to charge once every couple of weeks. :-)
