Replacement house batteries in San Diego February 20, 2010, 12:12:00 am Yahoo Message Number: 110271"Does anyone have a suggestion on where I might go in the San Diego area for purchase and installation of replacement Trojans?" I posted about 2 1/2 years ago about replacing my Trojan Batteries (T-105's) with a pair of golf cart batteries from Costco. At the time they were about $78 each. I think they may be about $85 now, but I haven't checked. There are a lot of Costco's around, one of the reasons I bought these two. (warranty) So far they seem to be doing at least as well as the Trojans did. At about one half the price of t-105's, even if they were to last a year or two less, I don't see that as a drawback. The Costco batteries were exactly the same size, the fill ports were the same (straight). I might also point out that batteries age from the start, losing capacity as they go. Most people don't notice the degradation until battery performance is substantially decreased. I would prefer cheaper batteries more often, than to just stick to one brand because of some supposed benefit.

Re: Replacement house batteries in San Diego Reply #1 – February 20, 2010, 12:39:55 pm Yahoo Message Number: 110283Ron,I just bought new house batteries for my 2005 MB at:American Battery 525 West Washington Escondido, CA 92025 (760) 746-8010 They carry 3 brands of "golf cart" batteries: Trojan, U.S. Battery and a name I cannot remember. American was recommended to me by another LD owner. They have a large warehouse full of batteries and seem to do a lot of commerical vehicle business. I replaced my T-105's with a U.S. Battery equivalent. They were only a few dollars less than T-105's but appeared to have better warranty and more nationwide dealers. I believe that the third brand they handle is less expensive than the U.S. Battery's.When I searched for Trojan dealers
