However, not everyone can afford the Trojan Golf Cart batteries.

I have Sam's Club GC-2 Golf Cart batteries which are doing well and they are now 4 years old.

Richard, you are right, I have 4 Exide that cost me $95 each. They are now sneaking up on 7 years and going strong. Not always how much but rather how well they are maintained. I added Mineral oil to mine at new and have them plugged in 24/7. Check and and add water every 2-3 months.

My 07 had a commercial grade inverter and a separate stand alone converter. I ended up with two extra inverters and I had them installed for dry camp this is where the same line issue came into play.

That's a killer price. I bought 8 of them this year and the best deal I could get was $129 and I had to pick them up. I shopped every dealer in the Austin area.
