Default Which batteries??

I will have to replace my battery's before summer, and was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the US battery vs Trojan battery's? I currently have 6 8volt Trojan T875 battery's in now I stopped at a local golf cart shop the other day and they sell US battery's. I looked at the battery comparison page and here is what I found:
T-875, 295 Min @25A, 117 Min @56A, 170Ah @20Amps, 63 lbs
US-8VGC, 337 Min @25Amps, 128 Min @56A, 170Ah @20A, 64.5 Lbs.

Does this mean the US battery has a faster discharge rate? or it will stay charged longer? I would rather have some opinions from here then the guy selling the battery's. thank you!!!

We only sell Trojan's, but even my battery distributor say's the numbers and testing show US is better.

In my experience, the US batteries have been "messier" batteries, juice on the tops & corrosion (that's really hard to eliminate) forming under the connection terminals. As far as run time, have never really noticed a difference.

I’ll be buying US batteries in the near future. Local store has them at a good price so I’m going to give them a shot.
Feel free to be the guinea pig and let us know what you think. [emoji106]

Maybe I will just stick with the Trojans. Thanks for the info

I put the US batteries in mine last year. I also bought a DPI charger at the same time. The DPI can be set to the type of batteries you have.
So far so good.
