Default Battery swap

I have a set of Trojan t 875 in my personal cart. They are one year old with no issues.I just bought brand new superstart 8gc batteries for a cart I'm selling. Got a good deal on them 110 apiece. Would you swap the 1 year old Trojans for the new super starts? They are made by a reputable company, the same one who makes dekka. Just looking for more longevity , and since I'm already buying new why not swap. Thoughts?

Compare AH specs. More is much better!

Can you buy the Trojan's for 110.00 each?

Just because they are "made" by a reputable manf does not mean they will be made to the same spec as any other brands they may make. Compair the amp hours as well as the weight...

Cannot buy the Trojans for that price, just the superstarts. I will compare specs. Basically the thought is if I'm buying new batteries, why not put the new ones in my cart and sell the others.... Just thinking...

These? http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...itemDetailTab_

My complaint about these batteries is that they are not giving the 20 Amp Hour Rating we use to compare to other batteries.

Golf Cart Batteries are not rated in CCA
