I'm in the market for more 12.0 batteries for my M18 power supply. I already have two and I'm looking to expand to four. My 6.0 batteries work fine, but I suspect the power supply isn't the best at converting 18v to 120v efficiently. Where can I find the best prices on additional 12.0 batteries?

If you're looking for a deal, I'd suggest checking out the dual battery 9-gallon shop vac. It comes with two 12.0 batteries, and if you do a little price hacking, you might snag it for around $400. Then, you could sell the vacuum pretty easily.
Just a heads up, though! The 9-gallon vac usually includes two 8.0 batteries, not 12.0s. The 12-gallon vac comes with the 12s. I've seen the BMSM hack drop the cost to about $620. If you sell the vacuum and charger, you might get a couple hundred back. I'm actually eyeing a lawnmower kit that’s about $1300, which includes four 12s and dual chargers. I could probably resell the mower and chargers for around $800, but I'm not sure if the hassle is worth it!
