so I had to replace my 6v because it wouldnt charge anymore and I checked out the local Batteries Plus and they have 6v 12AH for $23(6v 7AH for $15)!
perfect for festival type scenarios when you need 10-12 hours use :)
all you need to do is move/build the 4pin XLR cable. . .
they have stores everywhere:

If you don't have one local, try www.batterymart.com
6v 7ah is $9.95
6v 12ah is $10.95
They even have a 6v 43ah for $39.95 (small man and boy to carry not included) :P

fyi, shipping on a SLA is not going to be cheap due to weight

Depends on where you are, we happen to be in DC area, this place is also in VA but opposite side of state, shipping on 6 batteries at a time has been less than $10...
Shipping on (4) 6v 12ah batteries to CA is only $15.85 from them, so I still think they are really reasonable...
(course that is ground shipping ;D)

is this place in Petersburg?
I'm in Richmond and last year stumbeled on a wharehouse in Petersburg for SLAs. they were cheaper than everyone else, but their shipping made the total battery price average

i got a 6volt 7amp hour battery at home depot for $16. it was a little tough to find, but i eventually found them in the home security/alarm section.
i then went to rat-shack and got a 6v sla charger, they call it a 6v lantern charger, that has fast charge and trickle charge. cost another $16 bucks.

Nope, these guys are in Winchester. Just checked on their site, for 2 6v 7ah batts are $17.90 + tax + $5.44 shipping... So, $24.16 shipped in VA.
They have a 12v 1ah charger for round $12 I think... We use them at work for all of our UPS, couldn't find anyone cheaper even after adding in the shipping.
