Contents:ONE EACH
Minutes at 25 amps:395
Minutes at 75 amps:105
Volts:6

Neither of them match Deka's specs exactly. Makes me wonder if the are seconds or something along those lines.

Here is a little something I put together to help me in my quest for the most bang for the buck.

It's neither complete nor comprehensive, but I'm working on it.

Yeah, I skipped over those. I noticed none of them were exactly the same specs as Dekka. After I upgraded to the 500 spm and new cables, voltage reducer, solenoid, new tires and rims, rear seat, etc., the better Sams Club ones were all I could afford. Got them for $88 a piece. Cheapest I could find Trojans was $110 a piece. Oh well, the Duracells do have a one year replacement warranty. :D

Take good care of them and keep them charged as high as possible/practical and they ought to last a long time in a 48V setup.
By upping the voltage by a third and using roughly the same AH battery pack, you'll be maintaining a higher average State of Charge, so the life expectancy will be longer.

Unless something breaks, I'm going to leave mine more or less stock.

Thanks for the list. I am thinking about replacing the batterys in my cart. I mainly using it for hunting and i have 4 12v semi-batteries. They run dead on my trip around the woods which is really not far of a drive. They bog on up hills. I am fed up with it lol. So the sams club batteries seem like the best deal as long as you take care of them and i doubt i will have the cart beyond 3-4 years.
