It looks like I will be getting the US 8VGC XC batteries. I researched all my options and the Energizer EGC8 is no longer made by US Battery, but Johnson Controls and would yeild about 24 miles to 80% DoD. Not bad, and enough for my normal use, and the price is the lowest.

However, this morning I got a quote from a different US Battery distributor and the price for the 8VGC XC was way too good to pass up. Actually, my tax return covers the difference and I should get about 30 miles to 80% DoD. I estimating my range based on how much power it takes to charge my EV after a run. The 8VGC XC has a much better Puekert number than the MAXX29, so I might be able to get a little more mileage out of it, maybe even decent high way speeds.
