Case in point: the pricing from powerstride is about the same as Pahoa Battery.
Better example: last time I shopped for batteries, the various distributors all suggested I call Pahoa Battery instead, told me they couldn't beat the prices there.
From experience: a set of ("cheap") golf-cart batteries will last 3+ years with no maintenance at all; with some care, you can get 5+ years. Definitely a good "starter set" if you've never been off-grid before.
That said: the L-16 HCL are a little more expensive ... but worth it.
