I am shopping by internet for (4) Interstate U2200 6-volt batteries to replace my coach batteries.
I am in Southern California and the local RS supply store wants $139.00 each and $90.00/hour to replace them. Dealer wants $145.00 each and $110.00 to replace them.
I can't find any batteries on Walmart/Costco/Sam's Club websites.
If anyone has purchased them recently, can you tell me what you paid? And can anyone suggest where I might find them?
Thanks

I was just quoted about the same price for the u 2200 batteries in NC. They wanted about $125 each at the Interstate store. It looks like everyone is charging 1 hour minimum these days for labor. I installed them myself a few years ago. Very heavy and fit in a tight spot. I understand that the Interstate stores carry an "econo" version. They might be refurbish at a substantially less cost. You might want to check your area to see if there is a location near you.
Best of luck!

When I bought my 8D battery ins April...the 6V golf cart batterys were $68 each at my local Sams! I suggest you forget the internet and drive to the nearest Sams.

Costco here in Raleigh, carries a 6V golf cart deep cycle battery made by interstate that may be the lower priced one mentioned in an earlier post above. About $60 IIRC. I have two U2200's and two of the Costco's in my coach and can't see any difference in their performance.

I bought 4 from Sam's about a year ago $60ish each. They don't show them on the web site, store only. Easy to replace yourself, just label all the wires, and even better if you have a digital camera, take pictures!

I bought mine at Range RV in Victorville, Calif. for $150.00, but I intalled them myself. It is easy to install the batteries. Turn the two main switches off and disconnect one at a time, then install that one battery, then go to the next. Don't try taking them all off at once because you might hook them up wrong. It takes about thirty minutes.

I got a quote on U2200s in Harlingen Tx last April, about 3 months ago, for $89 each, T105s were $90 each. Wonder why the big difference in prices?

As I understand it Costco has recently switched to Johnson Controls (Excide) batteris, Sams has been using them for years
However they used to carry US-Battery US-220's and those are, near as I can tell, identical to the Interstate,, Right down to the quality (Even the part number is close)
By the way it's U-220, not U-2200
I'm not a fan of Johnson Controls batteries. Never had much luck with 'em myself
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

According to the Interstate web site and the labels on my Interstate batteries it is U-2200 as the OP stated.

Costco in so cal sells an excellent golf battery that I believe is made by US Battery same as the U2200. Price is about $75.
They are not on the website because they cannot be shipped by any standard method.
You can find them in the tire department, call first.
