Thanks for all of the quick and informative replies. Since my post this morning, I stopped by the Interstate dealer and was quoted a price of 340.00 for 2 6vs and 50.00 for the 21 inch battery tray plus core charge. One 12v deep cycle was 100.00. Seems I could buy 3 12vs for the same kind of money. I see someone posted a much lower price for cart batteries. I assume there is a difference between the 6v cart batteries and the Interstate ones? I am steering towards the dual 6vs but wow! the price. Am I missing something?
For that amount of $$, the Interstates should be the Golf Cart Batteries. Shop around for the Trojan T105's or check Costco and Sams, but not all of them carry them. I bought a couple of Group 24's (marine/deep cycle) at Costco to put in my old trailer before I sold it and they were around $80 each. My new trailer came with 1 Interstate Group 24 so I added 1 more and it was around $100 as you were quoted.
The three 12v's is not a bad idea btw if you have the room and can handle the weight.
