Here's the same size and rating 12volt battery for $38 each.
Electric Vehicles USA, Inc
$38 x 4 = $152 + shipping
I bought this exact one to upgrade my 48 volt scooter to 60 volts.
I also plan to use them in my scratch build because they're a nice size, weight, rating, and price.
If you want to find them in your area you'll have to look into replacement Uninterpretable Power Supply or golf cart batteries because that's what this size is typically used for. Medical and computer supply companies are two places to look.
I did find one supplier on eBay that's in Australia, but their price is almost $60USD each
