Dyno 8 volt deep cycle batteries, shipped out to Sequim would be $107.93 each and postage would be $167 for the lot. That makes the Dyno batteries about $119 each set down in my yard. Trojan 8 volt deep cycle would be $125 each set down in my yard.
Just for your info………..

Thanks Dave – let me know if you want me to get Dyno involved in any way? I’m sure they would hate to know that there is someone out there who was less than satisfied with their product. We used Dyno and Trojan interchangeably… I always preferred Dyno personally as I felt they performed better and of course I was dealing with a local guy who was incredibly responsive! I suppose you’ve got to have apples to apples – same models, capacities, etc… Dyno does indeed make the most serious DEEP Cycle batteries, as well as SLI and Marine applications. You should see the ones that go into DC-Diesel Locomotives! Anyway, thanks for your valuable opinion – this makes good use of a network of like-minded individuals with a common interest!

I
bought my first pack from Dyno. I wouldn't do it again for an
EV. Nothing wrong with dyno, in fact they were very nice and even
replaced one of my batteries after 2 months use. but the whole pack was
dead a year later. now some of that was probably my fault but dyno
makes marine batteries which are not true deep cycle batteries. and in my
opinion they are not as suitable for an ev as the trojans.
just my opinion....
ciao,

[seva] battery recommendations
I have a 120 volt car that currently has 15 very tired 8 volt lead acid deep cycle Trojan batteries which I would like to replace. I live near Sequim on the peninsula. A battery business in Port Angeles called Heartline has quoted me $125 each for 15 of the same new Trojan batteries, delivered to my home – that would be $1875 for all 15. They recommend Trojans as the best battery for my use. Their second choice recommendation would be Deka batteries which they would sell for $120 each in a set of 15. I have never heard of Deka. Les Schwab sells some 8 volt deep cycle lead acid types, badged for Schwab, which they claim they are made by Interstate, same as Interstate. Schwab would sell me a set of those for $1700 for all 15, delivered to my home. I asked the Port Angeles Trojan vendor about Interstate and he says he no longer sells those because their quality has declined. I have known others who had good experiences with Interstate. Does anyone have any advice for me regarding these or other batteries or any suggestions of better places to be purchasing them?
