I later weighed one of the same batteries in the pic in a different Costco, and it did not weight 66+ lbs. It weighed only 62.7#, IIRC, 4 lbs less than advertised!

63 lbs. 6V batteries are 208AH

67 lbs. 6V batteries are 232AH

Perhaps for the batteries you are looking at, that may be accurate. But, the T-105s are 225ah and weigh "only" 62 pounds. That said, I suppose that if you have the choice, get the heavier one if you can.

To clarify the batteries I am aware of and have personally seen measured are Coscto and Sams Club 6V batteries (keep in mind those are the batteries in question here in this thread titled "Costco vs Sams Club Golf Cart Batteries").

I am not giving information on any type of batteries like Trojan etc. because that's not what this thread is about and would be off topic information.

If you are looking at Costco or Sams that's what you will be getting based on weight.

Also do not trust the signage at Sams Club stating they are 220 Amp Hours ... They more than likely are not!

I got an expensive postal mailer weight scale that will weigh up to 400lbs to the exact weight and the batteries that we're stated as being 220AH on the sign weighed 62.8 lbs. ... which makes them a 208AH battery (see my previous post showing proof of weight vs. AH)

I would NOT buy a battery from Sams and think it's 220.

Some others out there MAY be ... but I doubt it ... nothing anywhere states they are making 220AH batteries for Sams.

Hope this all helps.

Look back at my previous post for more information on what I have uncovered in regards to Costco and Sams 6V Batteries.
