What brands of GC2 batteries have you had good luck with? How about from Sam's Club? Thanks-- Mick

I am replacing 2 Walmart group 27DC batteries that I got 6 years out of. They are just now starting to use some water in a couple cells. I would love to replace with AGM batteries, but not sure I can justify the cost of the batteries and some recommend that I should also replace my PD 9260C with a Boondocker converter to use with AGM. I am strongly leaning toward just getting 2 GC2 batteries from Sam's or similar and hope I get at least 4 years from them. I must say that I am very pleased to have gotten 6 years from the Wally batteries.
Thanks for all the information. Happy travels-- Mick
A pair of Sam's GC2s will most certainly be a massive upgrade over the pair of Group27s.
Group 27s have about 70Ahr capacity each so you have about 140Ahr with the pair.. But, for those you do not want to use more than 20% of the capacity for longest life.. More than that and you reduce the life..
Sam's GC2s will get you 210Ahr and with the GC2s they are rated at 50% depth of discharge for max life and they can withstand as much as 80% discharge with only moderate reduction in life.
I have no issue getting 9 yrs out of Sam's GC2s and I am hard on them as they support my home fridge conversion.. a pair of group 27s would never survive my needs..
