My new fork lift batteries, Getting batteries on the cheap

I scored this time. When John John called me up and said that he had had some fork lift batteries for me if I would like, I jumped all over it. Fork lift batteries are a good choice for the person going off grid. Especially in my case as the forklift had a 36 volt system and since I was only going to use 24 volts of that, this would give me spare cells in the event that something went wrong with one or several of the cells. And with a huge amp hour capacity even if half of the battery life had been depleted they would still be very serviceable for me in any event.
