Best Batteries

Johns Creek · 08-07-2014, 12:46 PM

I am new to the forum and was surprised when conducting a search there was little on the best batteries.

I need to replace 8 volt Trojans in a Club Cart and cannot afford there cost. What are some of the best alternatives? My dealer sells US Battery for $110 and there is a Diehard Dealer selling for $95. Diehard fellow comes to house while the dealer charges $60 install?

Any thoughts

How much more are the trojans? Around here they are in the ballpark of the prices you listed.

What are the price of the Trojans?

Are you in GA? Johns Creek perhaps? lol

I can get 2013 Trojan 875 for $510

I like Trojan far better than anything else. Crown would be my second choice. I've had good luck with them. US batteries run for a long time but they tend to leak acid more often than not. I'm constantly rebuilding battery racks in cars that had US batteries in them. I don't know if it's a problem with the battery caps or exactly what the issue is, but there's definitely an issue. Interstate I believe is very similar to the US battery, honestly don't see much of them. Everything else is pretty much just a budget battery that will get you by for a couple of years (PowerTron, Duracell, Energizer, BatteriesPlus)

Hi All! I recently purchased US Batteries for my golf car 1979 CC Caroche. I did a lot of research on them and I bought them because they are made right here in the USA. I have Trojans in another cart and changed to the US Batteries and since then I purchased 12 more US Batteries. I believe them to be just as good as Trojans. I don't believe in paying for the name brands.

Time will tell. I have 8 year old Trojans in a 1990 EZGo that are still going strong. Batteries are an investment-you get what you pay for.
