Interstate 6v batts at Costco

I just purchased two 6v GC-2 batts from Costco but they have no data on amp/he rating. My previous Interstate 6v batts were rated at 232 amp/hrs. I wonder why the new batts have no amp/hr data??

    If you want the truth weigh them. Interstate makes different CG-2 batteries. Well i should say ( " Has batteries made to there specs. They dont manufacture there own batteries")

    Fewer pounds = less lead = fewer plates = less A/H
    No one makes a cheapo golf car battery battery with thicker plates in the "me too" market

    Is the battery all black? If it is its likely 208AH. And would weigh 63LBs A 232 AH would weigh 67 LBs.
