I think the batteries you are getting are somewhat different to the ones I
had in mind. My idea of a telecom battery is a single 2v cell, 1200
amp-hrs, weight about 50kg. I'd be using 12 of them for my 24 volt system,
 which at $1.70/kg immediately puts me the wrong side of a grand :(

Maybe you have dropped a decimal place? (I hope!!)
