Costco vs Sams Club 6V Golf Cart Batteries
Hi, I'm about to buy two new 6V golf cart batteries for my TT. I am choosing between the Costco and the Sams Club 6V batteries. Here is all the stats provided for each battery where I live: Co...

OK ... you are right
After further research ... the labels are color coded ... The brown / gold label is 232 Amps
And NOW more confusing info ......
The gray / silver label is the one I posted a picture of on the last page that says 220 Amps on the store signage.
Buuutt ... if you go to that specific battery on samsclub.com with the silver / gray label it shows it as 208 Amps for that battery
Sams Club Gray/Silver label 6 Volt Battery
Specifications
6 volt
Minutes at 75 AMPS: 107
20 AMP Hour Capacity: 208
Reliable Cycling Ability
Deep Cycle
Gang Vent Design
Polypropylene Ribbed Case
Post Type: UTL

But yet at the store is shows 220 amps (who friggin knows).
I think I will take the websites info as correct over some idiot at the store typing up the labels and printing them out for display.
SO the ones with the gray/silver labels I posted that are at my local Sams are the SAME Amp hours as the ones at Costco that are interstate (the sams club ones probably are to I bet).
OK so looks like either 6v is only gonna consist of 208 Amp Hours.
I trust Costco more and they are great with returns.
If these both TRULY are the same @ 208 Amps then it really doesn't matter which one I guess does it?
Also what does the 107 Reserve Capacity Minutes mean??? Anyone know what the Costco Interstate reserve capacity is at Costco? Or does this really even matter for RV use?
EDIT:
I found this post on another thread .......
So the Gray /Silver Sams Club Energizers (item 1194) come in at 63.7 Lbs.
And the Costco Are listed at 63 Lbs. (this is from the sign at my local store and also a link that shows that specific battery from Interstate Interstate Battery Info Link)
Sooo ... this leads me to believe the 220 Amps on the sign at my store is incorrect ... They both basically come in at 63Lbs. and surely are both 208 Amps.
Just wish I knew FOR SURE ... cause if the ones at Sams REALLY are 220 I will of course go with those over the 208 Coctco ones.
They make this******WAY to hard.

I took my A/C scale to Sams Club here (Arizona) and weighed the GC2 Golf Cart Batteries offered in this area. Both are made by Johnson Controls and have the same physical dimensions. Item 1194 sells for $78.83 and weighs 63.7 Lbs. Item 263769 sells for $97.68 and weighs 66.5 Lbs. I have no idea why 2.8 pounds is worth $19 more dollars.
