I've posted this before and I'm not sure if it's still true, but we were able to get West Mountain to send us an old CBA III for free just by telling them it was for a high school project.
The CBA and Battery Beak allow for you to actually know you have good batteries. Also make sure you have good contacts at the battery terminals, Al recommends star washers between the ring terminal and batter lug and we have been using them with great success the last few seasons. They don't let the connection come loose. Also common sense, never carry or lift a battery by it's leads.
Check the SB50 connections them selves, they can get damaged and hinder battery performance.
