I checked with a big local warehouse with access to both Exide
and Deka. They could not get them from either source.

This is what I'll probably order. Looks like it ships ready to
go. They are sealed

Just for the heck of it I checked the Batteries Plus site.
Several stores in my area have a replacement on hand for $124.99.
Ouch! Your Amazon deal looks a lot better...

The Battery Plus offering is by Duracell. Might give you
something else to search for. Looks like this:

I can just make out a part number that looks to be
"DURA12-44C/FR" in the top left corner. Looks like Batteries Plus
is about the only one selling it too...

What is the application? If it's a power wheelchair you only need
to pick a size that fits the battery box, if a lathe any large
enough batteries will do. The subtle difference for wet, AGM and
gel battery types is the proper charging method.

Actually, it's something called an American Chariot. Sort of a Segway
alternative sold to police, security, and military about 10 years
ago.


Is that the one that looks like an electric big wheel crossed with a
roman chariot?
