Yep...  local Exide outlet keeps a steady stream of "fork lift" 
batteries around for the warehouses around here.    The trouble is 
that I've not had a lot of luck with these Exide batteries, didn't 
really last that long.     I've had better luck with the 51s I get 
from Auto Zone and Advance etc.

I even gave some fleeting thought to gutting an old tar-top 53 and 
seeing if it was possible to stuff it with the innards (after some 
mods of course) from a 51, just to see if it could be done.

...ever try to dismantle a modern car battery?    ;)
