Durqcell Batteries at Sam's
 
I am upgrading my 96 medialist to 48 volts so I am wondering if those Duracell batteries at Sam's Club are worth buying?

I read somewhere that sometimes they offer 20 dollar discounts on those batteries.

Or should I look elsewhere? Trying to find someplace local to save shipping and bring my old ones back for core cost. Springfield, Mo

I bought the 8v Duracell's from Sam's when I upgraded my 95 Medalist to 48v almost 2 years ago and have not had any issues with them.
I use my cart primarily for 18 holes of golf just about everyday.
I am using a DPI Accusense Gen IV charger and check the water level every 2-3 weeks.

Oops, I mistook the grill for 1970 (which actually had horizontal turn signals).

So Duracell is worth checking out then? Do anyone know when Sams usually have it on sale?

I really believe there is a big difference in the cut rate batteries, and the top of the line ones. If you plan on using it daily, I would definitely skip the cheapos. And, spend the money to do a 48v conversion, then trip on your shoelaces to save a nickel with cheapo batteries? In high performance & daily used carts, the cheapo batteries usually last about 2.5 years here.
