Costco GC2 batteries changed?
I have used 4 Costco GC2 batteries for years and usually get 6 years from them. Never a failure. I just Google searched them and see many (16 of 18) negative ratings. I need to replace my five year...

Sure hope mine dont turn into duds. Just cycled my genny and will yank them out and store in the garage for the summer.
For the fun of discussion i will try to take the approach that the new lighter weight costco batteries are not of poor quality. (even though i think they are) Maybe some of these could contribute to the higher reports of failures?
1. These days people can pull out a cell phone and leave a bad review in under a minute.
2. There are a bunch of new campers who are not familiar with battery maintenance. The new SXS toys have brought a big wave of new campers out to where i go.
3. Solar is more common which means there are more batteries getting a slow undercharge and constant float during the day.
