We have the Duracell GC2 batteries in our Cougar. We bought them in 2013 and they are still going strong. Duracell also has a EC2 battery that is the same "footprint" and is about 2" taller than the GC2. Specs for both are:

EGC2: COST: $ 130 each
•20 amp hour rate: 230
•5 amp hour rate:174
•6 amp hour rate: 178
•Battery electrolyte composition: acid
•Battery end type: top post
•Battery purpose: deep cycle
•BCI group size: GC2
•Freight class: 65
•Minutes at 25 amps: 448
•Minutes at 75 amps: 120
•Terminal type: DIN
•Volts: six

GC2: COST: $90 each
•20 amp hour rate:215
•5 amp hour rate:157
•6 amp hour rate:156
•Battery Electrolyte Composition:Acid
•Battery End Type:Top Post
•Battery Purpose: Deep Cycle
•BCI Group Size:GC2
•Contents:ONE EACH
•Freight Class:65
•Minutes at 25 amps:395
•Minutes at 75 amps:105
•Terminal Type: DIN
•Volts:6

I am satisfied with the performance of the Duracell brand Golf Cart batteries that I have. I couldn't justify the extra expense ($40 each for a total of $80 for the pair) when I bought mine 5 years ago. Several times I've considered upgrading to a 4 battery system, but haven't done it yet. If I do, I may consider the larger batteries, even though buying 4 would equal the cost of buying 6 GC2 batteries.
