You're going to "save" $94 and pick them up and deliver them yourself? And 
for that saving you're willing to get a generic battery produced by Johnson 
Controls to an unknown specification as opposed to Trojan batteries with a 
known reputation.

IMHO, that is literally penny-wise and pound foolish.

| Here's the prices I found for golf cart batteries:
|
| Trojans delivered from a local golf cart company - 6 for $550. Don't know 
for sure if that was tax included, etc.
| Local Interstate battery store - $93 each if I buy at least two.
| Costco - $79 + $6.50 each in disposal fees, etc.
| Sams - $67 each + $9.00 in fees.
|
| Both the Costco and Sams batteries are made by Johnson Controls (who 
apparently make most of the batteries sold in auto stores, Sears, etc)
| I will be getting the Sams batteries. If they last 2/3 as long as the 
Trojans I come out even.
