This is just an FYI update on this thread -- I just came from my both my local Sams Club and my local Costco. In my local Costco stores, in years past, I had never seen them disclose the aH rating of their 6V GC batteris, only cold cranking amps, a useless statistic for my purposes. And once when I asked the Costco employee in Tires and Batteries to look it up, he could not find the aH rating for their 6V batteries.

So today I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Costco has the aH rating of their CG batteries posted on the tag. Theirs are 232 aH, and cost $89.99 here. They even posted the weight of the battery on the tag, at 66.7 lbs. And over at Sams Club, theirs are 220 aH and cost $79.83. Probably from a pure dollars and cents point of view, the Sams Club batteries are the better value. But I only have room for two batteries on the tongue of my TT, so in the next couple of weeks when I buy two GC batteries, in the interest of having as many amp hours as I can within a reasonable price range, I expect I will purchase the Costco batteries with the higher amp hour rating.

Wondering if they different 6v batteries at different areas and locations, of if maybe the store you are at has something newer.

Here are the batteries at my local Costco. (not this pic was about a month ago)

They say 208ah @20 hours and say they are 63 pounds and the price is $78.83 ... not sure why the info differs so much.
