Sams Club had their private label golf carts for $89 each. Like their AGMs, I 
think they are Dekas.
I will one day switch to golf carts when I figure out how to mount them. They 
will not fit where I have my batteries now. One nice thing about them is abuse 
is not instant death. Mild overcharging can be fixed with water and mild 
undercharging will resolve with equalization. Gels never get better once abused.

By contrast, my Trojan T105 golf cart batteries run around $150.00 each; a pair 
of them has twice the amp-hour capacity at 12 volts as a single Group 31.  I’m 
on my seventh year with them, and they’re still performing well.

A few years ago I replaced my batteries with Northstar? 31. They were rated 
very high, we’re the heaviest #31s (lots of lead) and they claim to use only 
‘virgin’ lead, not recycled lead, which they claim lasts longer. Came with a 2 
or 3 year full replacement warranty with the remaining 3 or 2 years out to 5 
years prorated. Expensive (~$300 each) but still going after almost 3 years.
I mostly club race so I can’t speak to cruising use. They are only on a charger 
for a few hours before a race and have never purposely been drawn down 
significantly.
