Lots of folks, myself included, have installed Trojan 105s. I just replaced the battery bank on our boat and learned that Trojan 145s have the same foot print as 105s. They are just taller. Their capacity is 265 amp hours compared to
225 for the 105s. If you boondock a lot, the extra storage capacity is great.

Question, are we talking 6v or 12 volt batteries? How much did they cost? I might be looking at replacing our 2 12v deep cycle (group size 24) batteries in the future as they are almost 6 years old. Still work ok but know I must be getting close to the end of their usefulness.

Price will vary depending on which model. Batteries + Bulbs has a 10% off offer if ordered online and picked up in store, offer CDP10047. Prices can be found on the https://www.batteriesplus.com/search?q=gc2+golf+cart+battery - Batteries + Bulbs web site . The sizes range from the least expensive with 215AH, the middle one with 230AH, and the most expensive with 235AH. I don't think the extra $20 for the additional 5AH is necessarily worth it. The batteries range from 60.5 lbs to 64 lbs to 68 lbs each.
The GLIGC110 (least expensive) models we purchased have been performing well for us. Right now, they are in my storage room since our escaPOD is awaiting either repairs or removal as totaled. Either way, the batteries stay with us either to be reinstalled after repair or installed on a replacement trailer since they are only a little over a year old.
