costco golf cart batteries???

anyone bought them? Did you have good luck?

I am comparing them to the Trojan T 105's

Costco in my area has them for 78 bucks.

trojans are 140 bucks.

I haven't looked at them as I am running Trojan 125s.

Take the specs from your Trojans and then compare them to the Costco offering and then compare the warranty. If it looks OK then you could take the chance. If it turns out bad you are out the cost of one new Trojan. JMHO

For a lead/acid deep cycle battery, I will own nothing but a Trojan.

Seen too many pre-mature failures of other brands over the years. I've had T-105's last 10 years!

You need to look around a bit on that price for Trojans - - I paid $58 a piece for mine 6 years ago, but I noticed them at the store the other day for $89. Somebody is trying to make some money real quick.

thanks guys. FiverBob...I have been looking around for Trojans but can't seem to find them in Phoenix.

I would pay $89 for them in a heartbeat if I could find them here for that.

Sportsman's warehouse.. How handy, it's right next to Costco on I-17 and Yorkshire. I have heard the Costco batts are a good battery. Yhere is more info in this subcatagory if you look for it..
