if you are referring to the 'deep cycle' type batteries that golf carts run? no you cannot use those in this truck. The capacity is not big enough and your run time would be nothing, not to mention the stress it would put on the electronics after a short period of run time.

The industrial battery is designed with those large cells to handle capacity for long term run time , most trucks are designed to run on a 6 to 8hr rate. There is no way those small batteries would last even a fraction of that time.

You could always check into a refurb battery or have that one reconditioned for less money, but that all depends , if your going to be running a full shift everyday or multi-shifts then i would not suggest a recon battery, go new.
