    I have no doubt it says 216. But I wonder if it's mis-labeled? The old GC2-HD's were 216ah. But the XHD's are all 232 (at least that I've seen). This is all of Interstate's golf cart batteries with the specs:

    Yeah, the XHD's are the ones that the golf courses use around here as the T-105 replacement. I'm not sure what the differences are between the HD and the XHD internally. But I do know a couple that lives off-grid about 50 miles from here and they got a bank of eight Interstate GC2-XHD's on a Outback VFX3524. They're very happy with them.

    Yeah. Like I said I'm gonna exchange the 4 that I have. Batteries represent too long of a relationship to have regrets about them.

    I just priced GC2 XHD UTL batteries and my whole sale price is 175.00 a pop. I'm staying with the 216 ah GC2 HD UTLs for $103.00 each. Never mind...................

    Sams Club in E-town or BG has about the same battery for $86 + core. They'll take any wet cell as a core. They aren't giving you much of a break as a dealer. Do your Interstates come out of Jeffersonville IN or Nashville ?

    They come from Hopkinsville. My garage is in Clarksville TN. You have to be close to me if you call E-town E-town

    Yeah, I am. I'll be going to Glasgow tomorrow, might eat Lunch in Cave City. I do a lot of Marine business, not so much Solar PV, but still off grid.

    I would like to see your setup some day. My problem is time. Too many irons in the fire.
