I read so much about all kinds of battery types, Ni-Mh, Li-Ion and all the other fancy stuff, for BIG bucks. Has anyone ever considered good old Deep cycle Lead batteries? Even if it takes a small trailer to pull them. If I can travel 80 miles, just to pick a number, with a trailer and use no gas, that's just fine with me.
25pc deep cycle 12V batteries at 60 bucks a piece give me 300 Volts at a much lower price than any other battery. Throw in a small trailer and all that for $ 2,000.- for 12KWH or so.
