    I can't imagine you jump started it or hand cranked it, I take it you have a couple of spares on board

    The batteries are 2 banks of 2..(24v) carry 2 spare banks for emergencies..like this..

    Certainly no hope of push starting it

    Just yesterday I parted with $170 for one of these batteries. I bought calcium but it seems they use the same stickers?
    My original one has 2005 2006 2007 date stickers on them so its at least 3 years old.

    I assume those batteries were lead acid?
