Interesting item being sold at Costco
I was in Costco today doing a buying run for the store. Cruising through the tools and automotive section, I noticed some three-cell batteries. Since most 12-volt batteries use six cells, this caught my eye.
Turns out they are selling
this six-volt Golf Cart Battery for $78.89.
Now there are a number of Golf Courses in this area (we have a great climate for grass and very fertile soil) but I thought it was a bit strange that Costco would be in this market.
Then it hit me that there are a lot of people living off-grid and building electric vehicles out here and this would be the perfect battery for them to use. Very deep cycle, strongly built and lots of capacity.
It doesn't show up on their website and the individual stores do have some measure of autonomy in what they carry but still, this is a wonderful addition to their product line. Kudos to Costco!
