20 Deka Ungly 45 ah deep cycle batteries (retail $3000). 3 72 volt forklift motors (retail $1200). When I told people at work that I was building a electric car I received 20 Deka Unigy 45 ah deep cycle batteries (retail $3000) for free as they were swapping out old ups batteries from a back up system.

These are 68 lb lead acid batteries @ $109 each (I lucked out with no core charge and free delivery), you do the math. most deep cycle batts. I placed 4 in the front compartment and the other 16 in the bed. The technical problems that I encountered were in figuring out how to mount the tie downs for the batteries.
