I am sure this topic has been around the block a couple of times but I'm new to the forum and a new owner of a 2007 Miles ZX40S. The car only has 30 miles on it but it has sat for the better part of 3 years and the batteries are shot. At $395 plus shipping per battery from Miles in California, I would be looking at $2400 plus shipping. I'm looking at alternative batteries to use and the Marine batteries at Wal-mart are 125ah and will fit in the box. Other than less driving time, which I'm not concerned about, what do you all think? Thanks in advance.
