Interstate 12volt golf cart battery
I noticed these today when looking to upgrade to two group 31 DC. Would this give me more reserve capacity? https://www.costco.com/interstate-12-volt-golf-cart-battery.product.100476402.html

You DO realize it is rated at 150Ahr AND it costs $238???
WHY, WHY, WHY do people insist on these insanely expensive "12V" batteries???
You want the best "bang" for the money, go with the GC2 6V batteries, one pair gives you 210Ah-225Ah (depends on manufacturer brand) for $180
Two pairs of GC2 (2 "banks") gives you 420Ahr-450Ah of $360..
6V GC2s are popular and most commonly used batteries in Golf carts, this popularity makes this battery size much cheaper over all to manufacture, other battery sizes are not as popular and manufacturers know that they will sit around longer so they manufacture smaller quantities which means cost per is much higher.
You simply will not find any other battery size that is more cost effective with this kind of Ahr capacity.
