Have just bought an GEM elXD with 9 gel 8 volts and I have invested way to much just buying this car and now it needs batteries, what are my options to the 9 8 volt gels? Disabled, on a tight budget and would appreciate any advice that would save me some money!  
Thanks for any help you can offer! Colt

Not exactly the the knowledge I was looking for, I was going more for the technical end of the field!  
Reality… what a concept!
