foolofsand Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 been trying to get some 6v batteries for the toybox. today in vegas tried interstate for the U2200 and they wanted $135. tried shelton and the trojan t-105 was $135. called standard and they wanted $121 with core and $133 without core. so what are you guys doing for batteries. costco doesnt seen to have any. I need to go down and see if they can order-they are tards on the phone and play or are dumb. can they be order on line from somewhere, most seem to say no, they wont ship them. any ideas? thanks :beer_bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Talk to Dave at Camping world in Henderson. I got the interstate 200 6 volts for $90.00 each and even talked him into installing them. Course I bought 6 but he's a nice guy and will try to help. I looked at Sam's club and they are Everyready brand. I looked at their web site and they dion't even mention they build 6 or 12 volt batteries so i decided to stay with a name brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Battery topics kill me!!!!!!!! The more I read the more :beer_bang: I get!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cheese Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Battery topics kill me!!!!!!!! The more I read the more I get!! you were when you were born :beer_bang: anyway... ive had the costco 6v for over a year. no problems. the longest i have gone without having to recharge them is 2 days!!! they run the lights on the hauler at night, then run the heater while we are sleeping. just keep with the regular maintenence (water, getting rid of corrosion) and tey will last you a long time. the 12v that came with my hauler crapped out after 1.5 years pretty much sams club/costco/trojan al have basically the same amount of power and longevity.....if you take care of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvnalolife Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I need batteries too. If I switch to 6v do I need 4 or are 2 still ok? If I need 4 would I just be better off getting the 2 12v blue top optimas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindernglamis Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have the trojan 6volts, you can not go wrong with these batteries. I researched alot of rv sites and they all said the trojan batteries are the the best. I have been very happy with them. Can't remember what I paid, but there is a battery shop in North town that sells them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoleinVegas Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think cause my hauler sat for a while on the lot, the battery isn't what it should be. It dies quickly. I think the sell the Optimas at Checker and Autozone also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how to wire them, I just wanted to know if I need to run 4 to have the capacity to run the heat all night and the fridge, lights and whatever else. Or are two 12v blue tops the way to go?

Richard Cheese Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 i personally have never had the blue tops...BUT i am happy with my 6v your fridge runs on batt power when the gennys off? mine runs on propane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandpirates2 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Mine is either genny or propane thats the only choice, but you need BATT for propane relay.... I run 2 of these and they kick Trojan Storage Battery T105 Golf Cart Replacement Battery. Never seem to be without power, but theyre bucks , I think I paid $250 each....

foolofsand Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 no, we called 3 of them, but I havent had time, but am heading down tomorrow in henderson. maybe tonite, but I dont recall seeing any there last time. I'll let you know what I find went down to costco last nite, they dont have any in the las vegas valley. reno(can you believe all the golf courses up there compared to vegas) and alot in so cal, etc. they are everywhere except here. they wont order them in. he said to email costco and suggest they stock them in vegas. I cant get them to come up on costco website or kirkland website either. the model # is 245725 and a gc2. I will just get some in so cal whenever I go there. they are $88 at costco now, but better than $135 for trojan or interstate. anyone called the golf cart places in vegas? I may try that when I get time and think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've run the lights and stereo all evening and the heater all night and I've still been able to start the generator in the morning. I run my fridge on propane all the time when dry camping though.

When you run the fridge on propane all night, how long does your bottle last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 When you run the fridge on propane all night, how long does your bottle last? Your fridge runs on propane all weekend unless your generator is on. The fridge doesn't use much propane. It could probably last a week or two (maybe more) on a tank if thats all you were running off that tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
