Need a good battery source

I'm looking for a source for gel cell batteries, with a rating of 12v and at least 12Ah. Google turns up tons of sites, but I'd like one that specializes in robotics.

    I nearly always use Power Sonic, available from Mouser.

    12 VDC 12 AH $36.00 USD

    12 VDC 17 AH $44.00 USD

    6 VDC 10 AH $15.00 USD

    With all that lead, it might be a bit cheaper to buy locally.
    Just make sure that you buy from a retailer that has fresh stock.

    If a battery sits on the shelf for 3 years unused, it is still near the end of its useful life.
