A couple of 6 volt golf cart batteries in series will give you almost
as much capacity and are much easier to handle. *You can also split
them up for better weight distribution.

I've thought about that Wayne. GCt batteries are suppose to be a 'slow
charge' battery, but i ran a 'trolling motor' battery in my loaded out
'75 Pontiac GrandVille for a couple years with no problems, so I'd
thought of going with the GCt batteries, but I dont' have much use foe
6v's in anything after this fall. So I'm actually opting for car
batteries themselves, after all, by that time I'll have a couple of
tractors that the batteries are junk so the 12v's will still get used
this winter.

But then again....
