Default Golf cart batteries

In article . net,
says...
On my trawler my present house battery bank consists of two 8Ds, my
starting battery is a 4D.

The 8Ds are ready for replacement. I'd like to go with golf cart
batteries.

Costco has them for $62 each. No real information on the card in the
store. West marine has them for $127. There is not enough information in
either place to compare them to each other.


They're both likely to be Trojan although there's several manufacturers.
I found the Trojan 6V at Sams Club for about $50. My local Costco
didn't have them at the time.

I'd go back to Costco and get one of the folks in the tire center (not
the shop -- inside where they sell the batteries) to look up the specs
for you. They're happy to do it.
