Costco 6V GC battery specs?

Costco 2gcs are about $80 each.

Just bought 4 GC2 at Costco in Foster City, Ca last Saturday. $90 each.

I think Weight is the most important question.

Visited DEKA site two days ago and downloaded the chart on their Golf Car batteries.

I suspect the G-10 is the closest to what you are looking at.. There may be some differences but capacity wise.. That is what I'd look for

I just dropped a Group 78 in the chassis battery tray which is why I was visiting the site.

To make a blanket statement that Costco GC-2 is a Johnson Control battery is misleading. Around our neck of the woods and as far south as AZ, they are mostly Interstate batteries with a variant thrown in once in awhile. The ones in our coach, bought in southern AZ, and the ones in our local Costco are Interstate and plainly marked as such.

To add to the mix, if you have a local Interstate factory store, they will match the local Costco price every time on their batteries. I replaced our coach chassis batteries this year and got a quote from Costco, then went to the Interstate store and had them installed at the same price.

What's the latest price anyone recalls for the Costco 6v? Our Costcos around Denver don't seem to carry these... 12V only around here it appears.

Costco doesn't have them here. Sam's Club does.

Has anyone bothered to ask OEM if they use envelope separators or standard microporous glass separators?

Love to see a discussion based on owners of different brands with 300 kWh minimum transacted on them.

I remarked today to Eduardo the shirt I am wearing was purchased in 2002. He marveled. Then I confessed it has been merely lightly worn.

Love to know if J.C. or other vendors are getting their sub assemblies or dry charged units from Mexico. Those specs above are mighty close to LTH GC-220 specs.

Here is an interesting paper by Bill Darden where he has listed manfacturer and some of the private labels.

I wonder if some of the manufacturers use others for certain battery types. For example he lists US Battery making East Penn Deka Marine Master and U series for Interstate Batteries

I cannot attest to the veracity of this paper.

Been looking for an interstate factory for some time now.

are these gc2's junk since they measure CCA and report it?

Interstate does not make any of their batteries. Johnson controls makes 99% of them.

There are no interstae factories. They don't make their own batteries. They are 99% made by Johnson controls.
