Whatever Volt, get them at Costco. 36 month free replacement without even a question.

The six volt deep cycle batteries at my Costco only have a 12 month warranty and that is prorated. I have never seen such a short warranty on a battery.


Show me the GRILL and STAND BACK!!!!

I've used Trojan golf cart batteries for many years. Check out the weights of batteries...the heavier ones have more lead in the plates and should last longer.

I like Interstate. We've got an Interstate distributor right here in town, and they sell direct to the public too.

I've never cared to pay money annually for permission to spend money at any store. So Costco, Sams, et al are of no interest to me.

I just talked to a guy at Costco, and he told me they don't sell golf cart batteries

Do you guys have the P/N for you Costco batteries?

Interstate (2) 12v Marine/RV deep cell. Expensive, but worth it. You may need a larger box to hold them.
