"8 D Battery" Anyone ever use one for house batt?

Gents, Well, our Costco, 6V golf cart batteries (dated 8-11) just passed the 4 year old point and, based on a few things, I'm not sure they're holding up their end of the bargain for keeping charged...

If the 8D battery doesn't give an AH rating it's not a deep cycle, it's a starting battery. You don't want it. Get a deep cycle 8D if you want one that size. The Deka 8D AGMs that I install in off grid solar systems are rated at 245 Ah. I would think other brands would be similar. It's printed right on the sticker on top of the battery.
