   There used to be a huge aftermarket in reduced capacity used 6V   
   batteries. Good AH per dollar spent for the penny pinchers.  New ones   
   were crazy expensive though.  My electric scissors lifts both used 4   
   large 6V deep cycles.  The second time I replaced a set I said screw   
   this, and dropped a pair of 12V deep cycles in their place.  I had about   
   half the run time, but 1/4 the price.  If I needed more run time I could   
   have just tied in another bank in parallel and still been half the cost   
   of 4 big sixes.
