Coach battery questions

<< < (2/2)

Marty,

I switched to CostCo golf cart batteries about 6 years ago, and they are still working.  I just ordered 3 pair of Flow-Rite RV2000 Pro-Fill to fill the batteries with water by pumping from a gallon jug.  While the coach is in storage, I do not even have to open the bay to look at them.  Just squeeze the pump to fill them.  Now the maintenance will be drastically reduced.  I will get CostCo batteries again when needed.

I think the Kirklands are made by Johnson Controls and should be just fine, especially at 80 or so bucks.  But I've heard they may not credit a core fee, ~$9-$10 @, if you don't have Costco branded batteries to turn in.  You might check into that rumor as I'm not sure as to its truth or procedural legality.

Our coach is still doing fine on its original Interstate brand put in by Beaver in 2006 - over 7 years, but we use our rig differently than most.

Marty and Suzie Schenck:
Thank you all for your replies. I am in Oregon now on my way to the Canyonville rally so I will most likely look for something down here so I can save the sales tax. Thanks again
Marty

I just paid $129 apiece for Interstate Batteries at Eric's RV Performance in Sequim.  Stuck with Interstate as I got 7.5 years out of them.  Was in Costco yesterday and noticed the golf cart batteries that looked the same size for $89 apiece.
