The Autocraft GC 2 is 216 AH not 115. That is a huge difference. I have 8 of them in my cart. they all say 216 on them

Also, the problem with getting batteries that arent local to me seems to be undiscussed. What if you melt a terminal from a loose cable? As for me, my local advance has replaced 3 batteries due to this exact problem. Would Trojan do that for you? I dont have access to any cart stores for a good distance. I think that would be a paramount concern for me if I was looking at new batteries. Just my .02 Also, like i posted above, dont throw the Autocraft under the bus too fast, the amp rating is actually 216. thats almost twice the 115 someone mistakenly posted.

That's all I could find on Autocraft batteries. Just trying to help.

no issue. johndaman has a thread singing his praises too. I just think more people would be happy with a battery that can be serviced and purchased at a local store, not a specialty cart store, only to get stranded once again if they ever have a problem.

I searched around and purchased the mid grade red top battery from us battery last summer. At the time everyone praised them like gold and they seem to be doing great and have a long run time. I have 6-8v.

Any luck out there from Napa batteries? I read here they are manufactured by exide but someone told me that Trojan manufactures them
