I could probably get them pretty cheaply at a municipal golf course's cart
garage ~1am as well.  =)

this weekend

Oh BTW get golf car batteries.  Neither car starting batteries nor
"deep cycle" marine batteries can really handle deep cycles very well.
Golf car batteries can take the most abuse (deep discharges more often).
They are 6V so you need twice as many but get a lot more power too.  You
can get them fairly cheap at Sam's Club.
