Sam's Duracell 6v Battery Dimensions
FWIW since Sam's website doesn't list the dimensions for the following 2 batteries I called the manufacturer & got the info from them: GC2 10 1/4 L 7 1/8 W 10 7/8 H EGC2 10 1/4 L 7 1/...

Tenths of thousandths of an inch are absurd. As far as height is concerned when switching from 6-cell to 3-cell it is up to the person doing the modification to ensure a gang type 3-cell cap (push in, pull out) will work in place of threaded caps. Many rigs can not use 3-cell batteries, period, without expensive, extensive modifications. But if the manufacturer claims a BCI dimension battery another brand same BCI will fit. To loosen wiggle room sometimes I had to trim casting flashing with a pair of dykes, but the flashing is a manufacturing error, not a hardcore difference.
Some RV batteries have rope type lift assistance, others have plastic lifting finger shelves. Like lifeline. if you can name two incompatible same BCI group size batteries I'll check it out. And forget about flooded versus AGM they are slightly different. So are Rolls & Surrette. They fit fine with most wet BCI batteries and not AGM with wet. That's a no-no. The Lifeline has a lower profile due to the very different terminal design. :)
I thought we were discussing BCI car batteries, not barbecue lighters, or Duracell flashlights. Like CRAFTSMAN. Their screwdrivers are OK but their 150 dollar battery chargers suck, period. I've had good luck with their car batteries but their powered electrical tools are on par with Harbor Freight.

East Penn Releases New Duracell Automotive Batteries
East Penn Manufacturing has signed an exclusive agreement with Duracell (part of the Procter & Gamble Company NYSE:PG) to release batteries branded under the Duracell name. East Penn’s over 60-year tradition of producing the world’s highest quality lead-acid batteries is a logical fit for the Duracell name that has earned 40 years of consumer trust.
Two types of Duracell automotive batteries are initially being released, the extreme power AGM and the advanced generation EHP.
Extreme power Duracell batteries offer premium AGM technology with two times (2x) the durability and dependability of a standard product. This high-performance line of batteries is ideal for multiple accessory power demands found in new vehicles or the extra drain of the many electronic devices that get plugged into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
Advanced generation Duracell batteries are especially designed to provide superior life and maintenance-free performance. These batteries feature EHP Technology or Extra Heat Protection reinforcing it’s design to withstand today’s increasing under-the-hood temperatures or severe service conditions. This extra reinforcement also helps enhance its performance in colder weather conditions extending life in any environment.

Proctologist and Grumble have since sold the Duracell name to a holding company.
Hold onto your shorts, holding companies are infamous for outsourcing manufacturing to the least expensive vendor. Why? So their books can have a maximum net gain and the holding company can sell the mess for a maximum profit before they are hit in the ass by negative consumer reviews.
Frank Lorenzo bought and sold in pieces Eastern airlines at a tidy profit. The master battery distributor I supported was advised (by me) to avoid like the Pneumonic plague flaky battery manufacturers who had a fly by night operation. RAMCAR BATTERY was a tight knit genuine manuracturer that cut the mustard warranty-wise. So was the Mexican built LTH and of course Trojan. Exide and US batteries were total losers because of absurdly high percentage of warranties.
The issue with LTH batteries is they only manufacture the lowest CCA and RC batteries. Gonorreah I mean Gohner Mexican batteries are absolute garbage. The vendor sold in excess of 10k batteries a year. Warranties can kill a company faster than a fire or a flood. :)
