Costco 6V GC battery price?

I'm not a member (yet?) at Costco, but curious if anyone has bought any or checked the price of their 6 volt golf cart batteries lately? I'm considering upgrading my dual 12 volt group 24's, although I might have an issue with the height of the 6 volt batteries....will verify first. Just curious what they are selling for. I live quite a ways from the nearest Costco, so not sure if it's worth joining or not.

Thanks!

CAUTION...!!!


When using deep cycle "house" batteries, two 6 volt deep cycle batteries especially, you need to be more aware of the RV's alternator/VR design/function.

The RV alternator/VR system does NOT taper, nor regulate, the current charge rate of the batteries. The alternator/VR charge rate current will be limited ONLY by the engine RPM and the alternator design.

Easy way to BOIL away the electrolyte in your deep cell battery.

Run the house battery(s) down to 70% SOC, start the engine for the next leg, the alternator will supply a FIXED voltage output, only limited by engine RPM.

BOILING electrolyle...!

Deep cycle batteries with low SOC have a very low internal resistance so they should ONLY be recharged with a current flow regulated/limited charged.


The chassis battery is rarely, if ever, discharged to a level low enough to have this result, plus it's design (HIGH CCA, poor "endurance") never results in the low level of internal resistance as does deep cycle batteries.
