Yes, I'm replying to myself.
1 of the 3 pallets of 16 batteries is now gone. 2 left. We need about 4 more committed to buying a battery to get one of the remaining pallets.
Let your friends who are not on the TCB list know. Don't forget to let them know that even if not used for camping they are good for hooking up to a cheap UPS to extend the run-time during a power outage to HOURS instead of minutes. Great for use as a trolling motor battery as well. AGM batteries are very shock resistant, the plates won't crack from being bounced around in a boat.

OK, these are bigger than the orange ones.

134 amp hour at the 20 hour rate, 122 amp hour at the 10 hour rate.

I've been putting money back to buy more batteries -- but, here's the
catch, I can only afford 7 or 8 of these to put in the UPS's here at
the office. This is a warehouse pallet sale and they MUST be purchased
in lots of 16.

I have to pre-sell at least 8 of these at $275 each then max out my
credit card (putting money back means not running the card up <grin>).
Shipping to TCB buyers will have to be by TCB express.

If I can sell 7 I can probably eat the extra $275 for a while if
there's a late buyer, or, knowing me, I'll end up finding a use for
the extra.
The ones I sell have to be prepaid sales. I just don't have the cash or credit to be an entrepreneur on this one. 

Anyone interested let me know. If there is enough interest we'll start
figuring out how to get the money into my bank account.
