Car batteries in the home?

Many used Yuasa sealed batteries, the same used in alarm systems and
motorcycles, you can pick up batteries from a local motorcycle dealer and
smaller ones can be picked up at alarm dealers, I've never seen them there,
but it could'nt hurt calling Home Depot to see if they stock such things,
most likely not though.
