[ausev] Local battery supplier?

[Roy Holder]

falconev says the blue cells are 'made with ALEEES ingredients'
so I dont know if they are SE or not.

Since my flooded lead 12v batteries are just over 3 years old now, I will
be looking for a new set soon.  keep us posted as to what you find.

However the SE haven't been field tested as long as TS.  Basically it
sounds like SE are great for those wanting to push performance and not so
concerned about battery life (which has yet to be proven).
