Well, no luck at the truck stop unfortunately. I guess semis don't use deep cycles, but just normal starting batteries. I did get the number of their battery supplier though, and it looks like they deal in anything and everything battery related.

In the mean time, I have gotten the motor mostly mounted to the chassis. I'm going to rig up some regular starting batteries I have laying around and go for a short ride to see how many amps the mower pulls in action. This should give me a really good idea of how much capacity the battery pack will need. Pics to follow soon!
