Costco Golf Cart Batteries

[JimS]

Does anyone know anything about these batteries?  I looked at them and there were no specs on them.  Do they compare with the Interstate U-2200?
Thanks,
Jim

Found this from another source:
The batteries are distributed by Johnson Controls to Costco.

I just installed two of these batteries in series replacing a single grp 24.  I contacted US Battery and was told to properly charge them I need a charger that charges at 15.5 volts with atleast 25 amps.  I have seen chargers (Vector, Schumacher, B&D) with proper amp rating but can not find out what the voltage output is.  Anyone have any idea?  Will these 3 stage chargers be appropriate?

I have 2 of them on our 2001 Coleman Cheyenne and they have worked out great.  We have gone for 4 days w/out having to charge them even using a microwave on a 1500 watt inverter and the heater.

Not sure on the charger question, but I keep them on a cheap-o Harbor Freight float charger and it seems to work fine.  When needed we use a Coleman 1850 watt generator to charge them and it seems to work great also.
