I need to buy one of these batteries for a UPS. Yesterday I had to pick up my wife near Access Park and had a look at what Builders Xpress had to offer. They keep their batteries locked in a glass cabinet but had no stock of what I wanted. There was a price stuck on the empty space where they keep these batteries and their asking price was R320-. What a ripoff.

The salesperson mentioned they will have stock during the coming week and the price for new stock will be around R370.- ...

I will go to Milnerton flea market tomorrow where I get R25 for my similar old batteries and expect to pay the difference which will be +- R80 for the same Ampere hour battery.
