I recently bought some Victron 22 Ah AGM batteries from Inverter Supply, it went smoothly, they are small enough to ship regular UPS though. In the past I have bought from Zeus and picked them up locally but I got tired of Zeus wanting me to buy through a reseller. I see that Victron claims to sell Northstar, for example:
https://www.invertersupply.com/index.php?main_page=product_info <https://www.invertersupply.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1304_3634_3635&products_id=194759> &cPath=1304_3634_3635&products_id=194759 I’m guessing they would drop ship from Northstar which I think is maybe in Missouri? If you are open to something other than front terminal telecom form factor, I’ve had good luck with Concorde AGM batteries, both Lifeline and Sun Xtender. Inverter Supply says they carry those also, but if you have a marine battery supplier near you, they can probably bring anything from Concorde in on their next shipment and you can pick them up, or they may have free local delivery with their own trucks. I’ve bought Concorde from these guys: http://www.staabbattery.com/ An advantage of pickup or delivery from a local battery dealer is you can recycle your old batteries when you replace them, rather than accumulating a pile of lead and sulfuric acid in a corner of your office.

Northstar Blue keeps coming up, but they seem to be super expensive. What is everyone using and where are you getting them?
