Michael,
I was a bit disengenous with my price quote on the batteries. The price I mentioned is the regular retail price from Batteries Plus. One of my businesses is a small automobile dealership (I started an electric car dealership in 1979.) My dealers cost from Batteries Plus was $349. Given the fact I am not a regular customer of Batteries Plus, I would guess your MH dealer was being very candid about his costs.

What surprised me about my search for these batteries was that my normal sources (including places where I had previously purchased larger quantities of EV batteries) were the highest priced. It goes to show you should always shop around before you purchase.

Also, I have purchased a pair of pulse charge units (about $150) from Newell that I will install when I change out the batteries to Lifeline. As with everything Factory, they arrived at my farm in excellent condition and ahead of schedule.
