Both!

I got some emergency light batteries before that turned out to be pretty soft. Currently I'm getting 12v 12ah for $20 each 12v 7.2ah for $12 and 6v 10ah for $10. I'm pretty happy with those prices especially considering there new. My only concern would be they might be partially sulfated but they had 12.5v when I unboxed them.
