Got batteries!

I just got batteries for my Electro-Metro conversion project!

Yes, I know it isn't a success story in terms of "I just got great fuel economy!"
but the batteries were going to be a huge cost to me if I had to buy new.

I got batteries that were new, pulled out of vehicles, for little over the cost of recycling.

Sure feels like a success to me!
