Open Roads Forum  >  Tech Issues  > Which Costco Deep Cycle Batteries Are 6 Volt?

They only had 1 model of battery labled deep cycle. Nowhere on this battery does it say if it's 6 or 12 volts! How can I determine if it's 6 or 12 volts? 09 Newmar Ventana 3942 Bunkbeds for the munchkins 2oldman • View posts Indio CA Senior Member Joined: 04/15/2001 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/17/09 12:23pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Count the fill caps (white, on top). 3 caps= 6v. Alternately, take a voltmeter with you. I took a hydrometer as I didn't want to be buying a dud (they're a bear to return). You should have seen the looks on their faces when I asked them if I could test each battery. marvh • View posts Tampa area Full Member Joined: 04/07/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/17/09 12:38pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Three x's two= 6 Six x's two = 12 Marvh tmmar • View posts Nassau County, Long Island, NY Senior Member Joined: 09/03/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 10/17/09 01:15pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator are there any sealed 6 volt batteries? 2008 40' Forest River Berkshire DP Bunkhouse bobrobs • View posts SCHDY New Member Joined: 10/17/2009 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/17/09 01:37pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Sealed Lead Acid Battery 6V 200AH model: UB-GC2 (flooded interstate u2200 is 220AH and less than half the price) SLA is expensive for what you are getting $250+ not to have to water them. Easy to overheat and damage. 69RoadRunner • View posts VA Senior Member Joined: 01/18/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/17/09 03:01pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thanks! I'll have to check the Costco closer to my house soon. It still baffles me that they don't label them with the voltage.
