Best prices for 6 volt batteries?

I didn't want to dump this in the battery thread because it is more specific.....

Getting ready to purchase (8) 6 volts batteries for my off-grid cabin. Cheapest I've found so far are Duracell 220 AH for $130 each. This purchase is specifically price point based. Anyone know where they are less expensive?

I was told not to get batteries at the "marts" that they might be $2 cheaper but aren't good. I would have to look at the ones we ended up getting for the trailer & let you know the brand, but they've been good for at least a few years now.

I buy 6v golf cart batteries annually for my vacation home, due to the extreme heat. It is a real PITA replacing 6 every year. Do it right. Get Trojan batteries. They will last you 3 times as long, but about twice the price of the others.

If you hunt down the cheapest, that is what you will get. Disconnecting all those cables and humping them in and out has a price too.

I buy golf cart batteries at the local Les Schwab franchise. Not sure what brand they are, but the manager said there are only 3 battery manufacturers in the US, so are from one of those. They've lasted almost as long as the Trojan L-16s I had before, just need more of them, still less expensive. As a bonus, the manager personally delivered them to my remote homestead, just to get familiar with the area, as he was a new transfer from another franchise. They were $145 each as I recall.
