Batteries, where can I get them.

[Begr3en]

just looking for some ideas on where the best place is to find batteries for my EV. What type of batteries are good for an EV. ANC any design plans for lining them up.

Thx

Need more info! Are you replacing worn out batteries? Or wondering what to use in a new conversion?

And, define "good" batteries. Cheap? Energy dense? Powerful? Robust? You'll get different answers depending on what you mean by "good".

I can say that the EVDL people constantly say that golf cart 6v batteries are the most cost effective battery available (cost/mile).

The best place to get batteries is from the place that is close to you unless you have a loading dock and can get them to drop them to deliver, the best batteries to get are the ones that fit your needs and fit your budget, I figure I need a bigger budget as I don't really want the $1,000 set, I want the $4,200 set.
