6 volt house batteries

[Gary Smith]

Costco's batteries in my local store are made by Johnson Controls. Sorry,
but I didn't price their golf cart batteries. Sams Club golf cart batteries
were priced around $68 today, 210 AH (versus 225 AH for the T-105.
Virtually all the batteries in the US are made by one of 3 companies, mostly
as private label products to meet the unique specs demanded of them by the
chain (such as Sears, Wal-Mart, Auto-Zone, etc.). So even if made by the
same company, differences do occur.
