We met someone in New Mexico with them. They said they were priced right and worked well. We have NAPA brand, on sale, because Costco doesn't build stores around here.

I do not understand batteries to say the least, but just wanted to add that if you're looking for more battery hours, you get more with two 6 volts rather than two 12 volt batteries. We dry camp a lot and that's what we've always been told.

We purchased 6 volt golf cart batteries at a south Florida Sam's club. They are cheap here and have worked well for us for 2 years now.

We have used 2 twelves and two sixes. The two sixes work better and hold up over time better than the twelves. We dry camp quite a bit.

I found out a few years ago the Sears Die Hard and Walmart batterers were the same. I didn't know Johnson Controls made them. Thanks

Keep in mind Johnson Controls manufactures Batteries to a variety of specifacations for their private lable customers
So when you compare a DiHard to a Wall Mart you have to check out the spec's
