That is basically what a forklift battery is. You can pick those up for the scrap cost of the lead as many places either recycle them on a timeline and not when the battery is dead, or recycle them when a cell or two needs replacing. I've seen forklifts with 20-year-old batteries - being in a heated climate, never being deep cycled, and the purity of the lead are all factors in longevity.
