i'll have to check that out... i've been using the standard gell filled
ones with the same ratings as the originals...

at one time i did string some batteries together... worked great but the
charging circuit took forever to recharge them... i also had to use a good
heavy duty wire between them... the first i used was from a heavy duty
extension cord... the initial test worked but melted the insulation off the
wires... i guess it wasn't as heavy duty as needed... upgrading the wires
to solid core 10AWG was a big help but a real buggar to work with...
