It seems like the days of big ugly lead acid batteries are numbered! I purchased my 22 XL when Li batteries became an option I could order. I paid $7500 for two Relion 300ah batteries about 3 years ago and it was money well spent...especially because I have a residential refrigerator.
A few samples of what is out there now
https://www.epochbatteries.com/prod...4-battery-ip67-heated-bluetooth-victron-comms 460AH in 8D size for ($1800)
https://www.epochbatteries.com/products/12v-460ah-heated-bluetooth-lifepo4-battery-epoch-essentials New one coming in Dec...very small and only $1300. You might be able to pack in 4 of these for over 1800AH for less than what I paid and they work in the cold.
Here I was able to remove 6 Trojan 12 volt batteries that each weighed 85lbs. Installed this and now the cart is 350lbs lighter and there is no "outgassing" going on during charge or use cycles. Bluetooth control and more power to the ground. I am going to need new tires soon.
New battery maker on the block and I just installed their 72 volt battery in my electric 4x4 EZGO Cart

I would be hesitant to get something from a manufacturer that has not been out there for a couple of years but the days of Lead Batteries has pretty much passed me by for all my toys.
