I think you made a mistake with the 75 Amp hr rating

Yea, probably just heard wrong from my Son, he was pricing them for me. I'll just need to go there and see for myself.  8)

I picked up a couple golf cart batteries from Batteries Plus for $100 each. They are 215 ah, cheaper per ah than those batts from Sam's club.

I was at Sam's a week ago, and they did have some little 6V SLA looking battery that was called a 'golf cart' battery.
I didn't look close at it, but the size looked like it could be 75AH.  It was on the rack by the 8Ds.
The ~220AH are usually on a skid instead of a rack, but not always.

At this time of year, might be really good to check the date stickers.
If they are from March 2011, might be a great idea to try wait another month or 2, then grab them from the new batch.

wilfor03,
 I bought 2 Interstate 6 v 225 amp hour GC batteries last year at Andy's RV in Priceville for $80.00 each, he is north of you off I 65.
I bought a 55 amp hour AGM 12 v from Craig battery in Decatur for $ 60.00 3 three years ago.
All are doing well.
I Work in Decatur but I am not associated with any of the stores I mentioned.
Check around at different places and you will be surprised what you find.

Back to BatteryMinder...

I have some of there other units, and they work well.

The waterproof 'Jr'(?) model has a switching regulator, which impressed me for something of that size and ampacity.
Of the dozens or Jrs I have used, a couple are calibrated too high voltage.  Before putting TOO much faith in it, I'd put it on a small battery to check the functioning voltage to the operators manual.

I hope they fixed their logo quality.
On mine, they look like photocopies of a 3rd graders magic marker design.  LOL
