Wait, why are you trading in? Just replace the batteries! I've used
the place on SE 20th and Belmont. There is another place (affiliated?)
further out Belmont, a few blocks west of 39th. Likely to be cheaper
than Batteries Plus. The batteries are Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) and
come in standard sizes. There is a 99.9% chance that either of those
places with have a replacement for probably no more than $40 or so
each.
It's generally a bad idea to mail-order SLA batteries. They are heavy
as lead (joke-joke) and shipping costs are prodigious.
