Sam's Duracell 6v Battery Dimensions

Duracell is a buzzword trade name. Duracell is an office with a couple dozen Herb Tarlicks running around inside.

the JCI/energizers have disappeared from TX samsclub, replaced with Duracell, same for zip code 90001 Southgate, CA sams

There are










There are +/- tolerances for everything.

But if I ran into a manufacturer who spec'ed an automotive battery holder to the thousandth of an inch, I'd grab a rhino dart gun.

BCI may be chemically numb but their dimensional criteria are strict.

Sam's Club sells Duracell brand GC batteries. Duracell brand batteries are made by East Penn who sells under multiple names, including Deka.

I would be very surprised if their batteries did NOT meet BCI specs for size GC2 as installation in various applications would be difficult. Remember there is some plus/minus allowed in the specs.

It's a stupid battery, not a pipe fitting or pair of eyeglasses.

Your "differences" amount to tenths of thousands of inches.

No one cuts mounting clearances with even close to that degree of resolution.

BCI must be a voluntary standard (guideline) because there are slight differences between 6v battery dimensions depending on manufacturer/model. For instance (specs from company websites or company data sheets):

Interstate GC2:
10 1/4"
7"
9 1/8"

Trojan GC2 Types:
10.3"
7.11"
11.07"
