Yes, a specially controlled charger is needed, but it does NOT need to
cost as much as the battery. A 12.8V 12Ah battery (the capacity Rick
bought) weighs 3.5# and costs $125 from Bioenno Power, and the charger
costs $11.
Like almost any battery type, cost depends on the VAh, but bigger
batteries cost less per Ah than smaller ones. A 12.8V 6Ah battery from
the same company weighs 1.75# and costs $80.
