Does anyone know if Costco still sells golf cart batteries? Otherwise any recommendations on good spots to purchase from?

That's where I bought mine last year.

Okay cool, I'll have to find someone the next time I go as I didn't see any with the other batteries on my last Costco trip.

Do you happen to recall how much they cost when you purchased?

These are running for $200 from here so wondering if they're worth the extra $ if the price difference is nominal - https://www.cdnrg.com/products/US2200-UTL

Worth it for the warranty. We just talked about that very recently.

[suntan]

They run out real quick. I bought the last two in March last year, they didn't get any more in for the rest of the year.

[2Legit2Quit]

Snagged the last 2 at Deerfoot location an hour ago, ran in to grab something to smoke this weekend and lucked out.

$160 plus $10 core fee per batt, good to go.

What brand are they ? ^

[2Legit2Quit]

Kirkland, which are made by Johnson controls who builds optima, interstate, and a dozen other brands

[suntan]

Seems like Johnson is very large.

that sounds like about what I paid. nice work. Mine have been freakin' great. So much joooooooos!

From what I hear, the Kirkland GC2 6V batteries are 90% of the quality of Trajan T105 at 50% of the cost. A good value.

You are correct sir

[ExtraSlow]

I don't take my own advice though. I continue to nurse along my shagged out ancient Trojans.

[blubs]

Ive ran Rolls, Trojan and Costco over the years. Honestly, the Costco is the way I would go in the future. 95% of people dont have the charging systems to properly charge large batteries (undersized on the current side) and chronically undercharge them. With that in mind spending less and replacing them a year sooner would probably have better results.

That being said I will say if you are hell bent on getting the best battery possible id go Rolls over Trojan. Better to support a Canadian company, and the quality is top-notch.

Here's the charging profile for them if you can adjust your setup!

Where is the best place to get firewood?
Preferably the NW area of the city.

[2Legit2Quit]

I got wood from these guys last year and it's the best wood I've bought out here - https://www.kijiji.ca/v-buy-sell-oth...7675?undefined

Definitely not NW though

[ExtraSlow]

Anywhere doing kiln dried birch is awesome.

[suntan]

Bark Mulch Depot if you're in the NW.

I had a guy deliver me 1/3 cord of seasoned birch for $220. If you want his name PM me.

FYI It's not really advertised, but if you call your Costco and select the Membership Information option, you'll eventually get through to the member/returns desk. I use it all the time for SKU/stock checks.

Pretty good deal on a decent little inverter generator. I bought mine at Lowes for $500 (on sale from $700) last year and have liked it so far.

Great, more gennies turning on to use the microwave or have coffee, and then forgetting about them for 3 hours. I'd pay an extra $90/year for K country to be Genny free
