Batteries for a Mercury M48   
I'm pretty sure I will need to replace my batteries as i only get short
differences. 1st quote £172.00 for 2 I think that's steep.

The details for the batteries are 12V 44/AH x2 


Last year I had seen some on ebay but can't find anything now. Anybody
know where I can get cheaper but good batteries please?

I've found this auction on ebay but it's a car battery.

Just search for deep cycle or traction or mobility batteries.
You want the biggest capacity (the 44ah bit) that will physically fit in the 
space provided.
Car batrteries will last about 3 weeks used like that...

Do you have any AGM (group 24 sized) 56 to preferably 80/100 amp hour at a 
sensible price?
And can they provide big currents (low internal resistance? or engine 
starting capability amounts to same thing?)

Ta!

To be honest I don't know a lot about batteries,
I mainly deal with ramps but my ramp supplier
imports batteries too.

If you know what you want though I might be able to
get them for you at trade price + a couple of drinks ;o)

Only batteries they supply are MK or Haze
and the bigggest are;

12v 73Ah Gel battery (MK)
Dimensions
L  260mm
W 171mm
H 210MM
Price (each) £125.00

12v 70Ah Gel battery (Haze)
Dimensions
L  259mm
W 168mm
H 208MM
Price (each) £115.00

12v 70Ah SLA battery (Haze)
Dimensions
L  259mm
W 168mm
H 208MM
Price (each) £100.00

MK Deep cycles wont give me the amps I need for my modded chair/wheelies 
etc...  (MK make GEL as well as AGM) but too high internal resistance.
Size perfect.

Same as above really but worse!

Wont give enough cycle life for everyday serious wheelchair use even if sold 
as deep cycle..

I kill GOOD deep cycle batteries (like Sonnechien A500 as fitted OEM in most 
chairs) every 9 months...)

I need good quality AGM batteries. Like Hawker Odyssey or Optima or similar 
but at a good price!  And I used to sell optimas and can still get them but 
their closest fit physically) is only 55 ah. due to odd shape...

Never mind!  Thanks anyway.
