Costco 6V GC Batteries (Johnson Control): Opinions??
Anyone had good or bad experiences with these? They have very similar specs to Trojans but are about $60 cheaper a piece. Since this is my first pack and I have heard I am expected to destroy it in as little as 18 months  , I thought that it would be better to go with the Costco brand first. Thoughts??
Thanks!

Yep, 6v, golf cart, flooded deep cycle batteries. Weight is about 80lbs. I don't have the exact specs in front of me-- can post them tonight when I get home.

Okay, ended up having to call Costco for the full specs... here is what they gave me:
6V
220ah@20hr
63lbs
100min@75amps
425min@25amps
These are manufactured by Johnson Control-- the model is 2-gc5 CCA
They are $75.99 a piece.

Those specs are respectable. There are better numbers out there, but for the money, pretty darn good. Do you know if they have 8 volt GC batteries also?

Reason: thought about 8V.

You will find that most stores will not post batteries on there website. Costco, Sam'c Club, Wal-Mart, etc will not post battries because the prices change often and they are not really a purchasable item online because of the HAZMAT shipping that's required.

I have never seen an 8v while at the store... could be wrong-- some Costcos carry slightly different stuff.
