Default Need a new ford battery ?

I am "toying" with the idea of a souped up disabled buggy complete with strobe lights etc, as I'm a bit mad.
Being disabled myself, and looking at the prices of s/h buggies etc I looked at batteries and noticed that some buggies take the ford fitting batteries, these batteries are almost always AGM, so they deep cycle perfectly, I don't know yet for sure(but finding out) if they will kick out enough amps to start cars etc, but 99% certain they will without any trouble.
Mates have been using leisure batteries on ldv diesels for years without trouble for example.
I'm not saying to do this but some naughty people might even use the fact that they can get a disabled VAT discount on these to buy some for a mates car!!
I've seen 2 x 45ah AGM batteries go for £93 delivered brand new, some one naughty could add the 20% vat discount of a disabled person on top of that.
Food for thought!!
