NAPA 8146 Replacement Coach Batteries

Need to replace the coach batteries and am looking at a set of NAPA 8146 batteries. Anyone have any experience with this model GC2 batteries? Thanks in advance for the help.

    For what it is worth. NAPA Batteries have a nationwide warrant, good at any NAPA Store. Most NAPA stores also have the ability to load test and know how to use a hydrometer.

    I would keep my receipt as sometimes the label om the battery are hard to read and the receipt makes it very clear when it was purchased.

    Happy Camping.
  • I have a two -year old pair of the 226AH ones (GC135 is one of their names :) ) Doing very well. I keep them banked with a pair of Interstate GC2 XHDs (232AH) as my four 6s. (Also doing well)

    Ask the NAPA store who manufactured them. That's easier and more accurate. NAPA has a variety of vendors. Any other answer would be guesswork.
