It is best to select you batteries your self from a dealer. They normally
get in 50 batteries to a pellet, so I select the best 30 that was all
balance in with of a voltage of 0.001 volt of each other. If you see any
dark positive posts, do not select that one, because this is a sign of a
post seal leak.

I like a battery where the tops have a built in sluts for a carrying handle
and also the top is about 1/4 wider the body of the battery. This allows
for air ventilation around the batteries while the tops may be tight
together. I also space the perimeter of the battery pack from the battery
box for air inlet and exhaust.
