Where can I find a sponsor or battery donor for my wheelchair sport?

I volunteer my time building and fixing power wheelchair equipment for a sport called Power Soccer as part of a non-profit organization. I have had some luck finding used and donated sources for some parts, except for batteries. Wheelchair batteries are vital to compete in this sport, and a new set of batteries costs about $300. Are there any companies or organizations out there that would help?
I know precisely which batteries are correct, and I normally buy them online. I can't find any local stores willing to give away or significantly discount their most expensive batteries. Any other ideas would be very welcome!


Typical wheelchair batteries are basically just deep-discharge batteries in a few common sizes. Talk to local battery stores and see if they can help.
