Where to buy Trojan T-105 AGM’s

Would most golf cart places be able to order Trojan T-105 AGM’s?

I assume buying them online is expensive due to shipping?

Any suggestions I’m listening.

Read what the OP actually posted and you'll see he's looking for Trojan T-105 AGM batts - NO watering an AGM. :R


Good catch. Here is a re-write to ensure no one else is confused:

"Oh, and perform regular maintenance on the battery as required by the battery type. My first Trojan wet cell battery made it a full decade before I decided to proactively replace it. Absorbed Glass Mat batteries do not require watering, but do have different maintenance requirements for long life. I encourage you to consider the RV battery as an investment and take care of it accordingly, especially when buying a premium brand like Trojan."


Way I understand, is Eric and Lisa are only trying to share why a wet cell battery is better than AGM. Simply that you can maintain it. That is good reason for try helping the OP and I respect their willingness to care and share.

Add a tablespoon of mineral oil to each cell of a normal battery and you won’t have to add water to it either.

GCs should start using AGMs. I've seen some pretty horrific looking batteries, wiring and corroded compartments on acid carts. They bounce around a lot and perhaps get overcharged.
Or, more likely, an untrained cart jockey overfills the batteries. I caught two of them filling batteries with a garden hose just feet from the Clubhouse Locker Room entrance. I never did inspect the carpet inside the Clubhouse but I bet it wore pretty fast after tracking acid on it. It was just one of a hnadful of times that I lost my cool at that Golf Course.

I'm glad AGM type batteries came on the market. It helps the wet cell prices from the lower demand on them.

I recently bought 8 Duracell AGM CG-2's for replacement house batteries at Sam's Club. They are the same size as T-105's
They are made in the USA by East Penn. They were under $170 each , which if I remember correctly is over $100 less than the Trojan .
Just another option to consider

If you aren't stuck on getting Trojans, you can get Interstate CG2s just about anywhere.

I've seen T105s advertised on hand made signs in Florida for $87. I wouldn't touch that.

Golf cart suppliers and distributors are going to have the lowest prices but don't expect white-glove customer service. Your two x battery order is a drip in a large bucket to someone that supplies fleets of carts.
Good luck with the battery order.

+1 Here in Portland, OR it turns out all the battery shops get their Trojan batteries from the same business. Once you figure out who that is, go deal with them. You may not get any better of a deal, but you will likely get a fresher battery.

Oh, and water the battery every season. Just do it. My first Trojan lasted a decade and I only replaced it because it was a decade old and I like being proactive, not because it gave me any problems.
