Yes guys,

Seems Bert has been ripped somehow.
But beware that the constant falling $ against the EURO certainly gives a 
contribution to the (virtual) price gap.

I have paid some EURO 55 for one 12 V battery some 2 years ago, so I expect 
the current price is about 60 EUR in the Netherlands.

Cheers,

Hans
