1000th post!? Do I win a complete set of batteries for an electric car?

I do!?!

That's wonderful!



Ok, so the batteries were NOT from Ecomodder.com, rather, I was able to purchase a dozen batteries for a mere $12 each from an electric vehicle dealer.

These are 100 Ah, 12V, gel batteries and weigh 77 lbs each.
They were pulled out of new vehicles that were being upgraded to other batteries. The worst that I could say about them is that they have been sitting around for a year. They all have good voltages.

Here's the close-up.


I have some photos of the various vehicles at the dealership as well.
