The Model 18H Deep Cycle Excide battery was specifically supplied by Exide to FIRST. You may not be able to find an exact off-the-shelf duplicate. You may use a similar 12V battery in the pits and during the Thursday test runs. You may use batteries from previous years for this purpose also. You must use the FIRST supplied Kit battery in the competitions. FIRST will replace defective batteries at the competitions. FIRST will not provide charged batteries to teams that have not maintained their own charged batteries. http://jive.ilearning.com/thread.jsp...t=45&trange=15

FIRST isn't selling extra batteries also to teams. I think this is one of the ways to equal out the vets with rookies. (all teams have 2 batteries to run competition matches on)
FIRST will have replacements at competitions if needed]
Search on the FIRST fourms and you will get a lot of information on this topic
