6v batteries from Costco (or somewhere else)

Your best bargain in a quality battery is probably going to be from a golf cart dealer. They buy and use lots of them every year, so getting fresh quality batteries is a lot better chance that other mass marketers.

NO, that isn't true in my area..

When I contacted a golf cart dealer, they quoted me THREE TIMES the price of what Sam's club GC2 batteries were going for.

Yep, Even when figuring in the cost of a Sam's membership I paid only $170 for a pair of Sam's 6V GC2 batteries at that time.

Golf cart dealer price was $500 for ONE PAIR of 6V G2 batteries, yeah, no thanks, I am not stupid.

As far as golf cart dealers having "fresher" batteries, that isn't always the case. You might find that they will sell you the OLDER junk that they bought a year or more ago that has been sitting on pallet from last season.. Most golf cart dealers in my area are real seasonal, they DON'T have ANY golf courses open through winter..

I would bet you will find just as "fresh" if not fresher batteries at a Sam's or Costco. They have them priced right and lots of folks privately own their own golf carts which means they WILL be turning over stock often in a retail environment.

I have never found a battery at Sam's that wasn't dated only one or two months before I bought them, can't get much fresher than that.

Not ALL golf cart dealers wish to deal with folks off the street and they are more than happy to beat you up if you are dumb enough to buy from them.

OP, there are plenty of Costco and Sam's club stores in the Pittsburgh PA area. Those are the most reasonable priced GC2 batts you will ever find.
