Yes good point Fred, pair for pair they are near amp-hr equivalent. I have been planning on going with lead acid GC2 golf cart batteries. I am leaning towards Trojans because of their great reputation, but it is hard to ignore the Sam’s Club GC2 at $85 each, amounting to over a $100 savings per pair.
Does anyone have experience with the Sam’s Club 6V batteries? Here are the specs and prices from Sam’s Club and the local Batteries Plus which sells Trogan. GC2 Duracell (215 A*hrs @20A) $85 12m warranty $0.40/Ahr EGC2 Duracell (230 A*hrs @20A) $118 12m warranty $0.50/Ahr Trojan T-105 (225 A*hrs) $139 18m warranty $0.62/Ahr - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Apr 5, 2018, at 3:53 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > > > > By contrast, my Trojan T105 golf cart batteries run around $150.00 each; a > pair of them has twice the amp-hour capacity at 12 volts as a single Group > 31.
