I was in Costco today scouting out 6v deep cycle batteries. 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?

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.

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.

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.

Costco doesn't sell 6 volt batteries


Oh, I didn't know that. I know they used to sell 6, 8 and 12 volt batteries.
