Default Need New Batteries - What brand?

My batteries are toast and I need to replace them. The cart charges like normal, and I get a decent reading across all of them after they're charged... but they do not last at all. The cart starts shuddering like it is low on a charge very quickly after hardly any driving.

I've been calling around town this morning comparing prices. They're all pretty close so I thought I'd post up and see what you all would suggest. I've always ready Trojans are very good, but I thought I'd ask anyway. I'd imagine good maintainence and care for the batteries is probably more important than the brand, but I'm sure there are batteries that are of higher quality than others.

Trojan - T875 - $140
295 Min @25A, 117 Min @56A, 170Ah @20Amps, 63 lbs

Exide - E4800 - $132
290 Min @25A, 110 Min @56A to 7.0 volts, 63 lbs

Interstate U8VGHCH - $120
345 Min @25Amps, 136 Min @56Amps, 183Ah @20Amps, 69 lbs


The Deka Pro Master battery sounds like it might be a good battery, but I can't find anyone in the 4th largest city in the country that sells them... go figure.


Thoughts? Opinions?
