Costco 6V GC battery specs?

[sh410]

I was at our local Costco yesterday looking at their GC batteries. The book hanging off the rack states that the RC is 107min. The label on battery states that it has 100 min with no reference to rate or RC. The sign on the rack says that it has 100 CCA. Pretty vague! The caps for the cell are identical to the Interstate 6V GC.

The "tech" stated that is was only for GCs?

Can anyone shed any light on this battery?

Has anyone bothered to ask OEM if they use envelope separators or standard microporous glass separators?

Love to see a discussion based on owners of different brands with 300 kWh minimum transacted on them.

I remarked today to Eduardo the shirt I am wearing was purchased in 2002. He marveled. Then I confessed it has been merely lightly worn.

Love to know if J.C. or other vendors are getting their sub assemblies or dry charged units from Mexico. Those specs above are mighty close to LTH GC-220 specs.

Costco doesn't have them here. Sam's Club does.

To make a blanket statement that Costco GC-2 is a Johnson Control battery is misleading. Around our neck of the woods and as far south as AZ, they are mostly Interstate batteries with a variant thrown in once in awhile. The ones in our coach, bought in southern AZ, and the ones in our local Costco are Interstate and plainly marked as such.

To add to the mix, if you have a local Interstate factory store, they will match the local Costco price every time on their batteries. I replaced our coach chassis batteries this year and got a quote from Costco, then went to the Interstate store and had them installed at the same price.

I think Weight is the most important question.

Visited DEKA site two days ago and downloaded the chart on their Golf Car batteries.

I suspect the G-10 is the closest to what you are looking at.. There may be some differences but capacity wise.. That is what I'd look for

I just dropped a Group 78 in the chassis battery tray which is why I was visiting the site.

Just bought 4 GC2 at Costco in Foster City, Ca last Saturday. $90 each.

Costco 2gcs are about $80 each.

I would only trust what is on the battery itself. Probably 208 Ah or less.

Compare RC & Ah here at US Battery

That said my vintage 2006 Costco GC2 are still serving well in part time use.

Thanks, That chart would indicate that the US 1800XC2 is the same as the Costco 6V

Another interesting number is the height of the battery at 11 11/32" compared to a T105 at 10 7/8". The difference is almost 1/2"

You should have asked if it was only for certain makes of Golf cars. It's so fun to catch a salesman bluffing his way through life.

All we've ever used are the one's from Costco. They're great.

RoyB's specs are on the money, I replaced my T105's with the Costco ones and have had, as far as I'm concerned, just as much power and endurance. At a much better price.

As far as the tech saying that they are only for GCs all I can say is:@
BTW I replaced 6 in the GC too, same results.

Golf Cart batteries usually do not list CCA as it's not applicable....Dennis

[RoyB]

I copied this from another forum sometime back...

"Okay, ended up having to call Costco for the full specs... here is what they gave me:
6V
220ah@20hr
63lbs
100min@75amps
425min@25amps

These are manufactured by Johnson Control-- the model is 2-gc5 CCA
They are $75.99 a piece."

This is the spec sheet for the TROJAN T105s
