Any comments on the shelf life of the GC2 batteries from Costco? One Costco has the batteries dated 8/12 (It's March 20th today), the other near me has them dated 12/12. I realize that some Costco's probably don't sell a lot of golf cart batteries and I'd get the newest ones I can. I'm sure they don't check the charge level of the batteries that are sitting around on the shelf.
They are $86 at my local Costco, and the cheapest I can find Trojans locally is about $140, so I can almost buy 4 Costco GC2's for the price of 2 T-105's and nearly double the battery capacity. Plus, Costco will take any old lead acid battery as a core so I've got a couple of crappy little Honda starting batteries sitting in my garage to get rid of...
