some dishonest battery suppliers

[mike-on-da-bike]

be carfull when buying batteries around sydney or victoria over the net guys as some suppliers are trying to pawn of batteries as true deep cycle ones when infact they are just standby batteries,i checked out alot of suppliers and even went to the store personaly and some would actually refuse to give me any specs on their batteries,yet on their websites they are stating they have the best deep cycle batteries around but when you get them they are are different type,i wont name them as there are quiet a few doing this so check that your batteries actually have deep cycle written on them and a manufacturing date if possible,man i have found this battery industry to be very sneaky operators,not all but some

ps ask for cyclic deep cycle ones and ask for battery specs,if you dont get specs most likely the batteries are duds

I guess you are talking about SLA batteries Mike?

yep lead acid ones,other batteries just havent taken of here due to cost,lithium is fine for smaller projects and you can afford that but not ebike battery,found some good lead acid batteries in sydney at long last ,please can someone send walmart down under as these shops here have no idea about making money and are not even too interested in ordering stuff etc,it really seems like they dont want money,they even say stuff like ohhh we dont sell those tjhings or sorry we dont deal with that suppier,maybe someone should tell them you can never have too many suppliers or money in bussiness haaaaaaaa,come down under mr walmart and make some money these dudes here dont want it.
