Actually decided to just get the ranger 160's. Little more than I want to spend but with the configuration and use I have, they are a better fit. 217 a piece after ttl & dealer prep fees.

how are the ranger's working out for you? I am going to upgrade my project cart from 36 to 48 and want to go with 6-8 volts to save weight and the need for 2 extra batteries.

oh and I found them at a dealer near here for $160 a piece. Do fees bump them up near $220?

I searched and called all around for pricing, availability etc and came across the same thing where they never heard of the best Trojans. I went with interstate which I have had for a year now and have been very pleased. The pricing on their batteries was all over the charts but I found a warehouse in Delaware that had the best price, delivered for free and unloaded and then loaded the old ones up.

Thank you Doug. I'll anxiously be awaiting an update on how you like the Rangers.

I have my new batteries finally. I checked voltage of the individuals and
4 @ 8.3v
1 @ 8.4v
1 @ 8.5v

Should I worry about the differential or just drop these guys in and charge the whole pack? More information?

They are new 8V Ranger 160's

I recently bought a 78 caroche that all of the batteries were shot. Spoke with a friend and he set me up with lithium ion batteries. 5 packs with 2 cells in each pack. Each cell charged is 4.2 volts totaling 42 volts. The pack of 5 cost $800.00 and works great. Now I have storage space where the other batteries were and much lighter.
