Hi David,

If you find anything close to that price, please post about it.  I need 
a couple of pairs of RBC7's this year too.  Looks like prices are up 
about 1/3 from when I last bought them a couple of years ago.  I went 
with Power Quality Inc (powerqualityinc.com) then.

Shipping costs are up everywhere though, so it doesn't seem like 
batteries that weigh 30 lbs a pair are going to be very cheap.

Good luck,

Scott C.
