what your experience and cost?

Who sells them near TV
I had Ranger batteries installed by Battery Boys. Love them. They were $1155.00 including some extra work done because of some corrosion in the battery well.

I've gone 46 miles on one charge and still had plenty left.

The batteries give you 160 minutes of running time on a flat straightway. At 20 mph that's about 54 miles. I've been told that people have gotten up to 70 miles out of a charge, but I can't confirm that.
