Yeah it's not cheap. I got mine as a packaged deal with a multi voltage float charger set up specifically for it, and the package was $75.

The charger alone was around forty, and the batteries alone would of been over sixty.

My take is it's already outlived two SLAs so it's pretty much getting to the point it paid for itself, and the performance is superior. It's supposed to be good for a thousand charges we'll see how long it lasts.
