Default Costco has their rv batteries back in stock for 2017

I know many campers and rv'ers will be happy to know costco has their rv batteries in stock once again.
Prices as follows:

group 27 deep cycle- $110
6 volt- $140

pls don't turn this into a kirkland vs trojan debate. Yes trojans are better but not twice the cost better. In any event, this was at Beacon Hill Calgary, so your local store should have soon if not already.

Great news!

Left my batteries in my trailer over the winter. Hooked up. Forgot in all the hassle of moving to BC.

Pretty well absolutely garunteed to be hooped. Weather stays good. Will be heading back to Alberta to get the ol girl in the next month or two.

Not necessarily!

If those batteries were reasonably well cared for and maintained before storage, they may be recoverable. Beg/borrow/steal a good quality battery charger that has separate 'maintenance' and/or 're-enforced activation' functions. I've brought many a supposedly dead battery back to life, with those extra functions on my charger.

Good to hear, I'll check it out in a week or 2.
Not a big fan of Trojans anyways, bought a pair of T105's 2.5 yrs back and one is hooped, not happy, no warranty left either.
So my choices are to buy one Costco 6V, run it with my good T105' or buy a 12V and sell my good T105.

I certainly won't be tossing them right away.

However won't have time before pinning up and headed back to Bc. So I'll need a set for the trip regardless.
