I purchase the last set of GC batteries from Interstate back in 2007, but they came from the US Battery Company. Interstate only sells there stock up to the 220 ah. Higher than 220 ah, they purchase them from US Battery.
I found this out when I went to the Auto Parts Store where they sell the Interstate batteries. The Interstate battery truck was at the store and I ask him about the 250 ah GC batteries. He said they get them from the US Battery Company. The driver is also the owner of the local distributer. He quoted me a price of about $100.00 per battery or about $3000.00 for thirty of them, delivered right to my home. I kept the old batteries which I could have got $20.00 core charge. Used them to replace the 30 Trojan batteries that we where using in a cabin in the mountains that ran a inverter for 10 years that was also use in the EV for 8.5 years. The US Batteries also ran my EV to Oct 2014 which was about 7.5 years which was purchase April 2007. One thing that I specified, was that I wanted the batteries to be pre match and same manufacturer date. The Interstate guy, said he orders several hundred pallet loads at a time, and come to his shop and I can pre-match them my self with the instruments and testers they have. After going through 180 batteries, I found thirty that all read 6.44 volts at rest after apply a starting load.

Off the road?John V at GCR reports wants them for an article asked me.On GC battery deals lately I've found good prices at most car parts store chains where you can ask your own price.On brands I've found Deka/EastPenn or Johnson Controls that makes house brands like Duralast.I generally buy GC at $70 or so for 60lb ones at AutoZone, Discount Auto, etc and $80 for the 70lb DC 12vdc ones with cores.
