That's the place I was just looking at!  There is a store near me.  The GC2 isn't listed, but they have the Duracell Ultra, 215Ah
Those are the ones I bought. They have been performing well. As with any flooded battery, they do require maintenance to make sure the electrolyte level stays above the plates. If they were not so expensive, I would get one of the battery watering systems to make the task easier. As it is, I redesigned my battery lock-down system to allow for easier access so it isn't so bad now. The V1 system was a real pain.

GC2 is the standard size for a 200-ish AH 6V gold cart battery, so the Duracell Ultra 215 is probably a GC2 case size.

It is. The more detailed description on The B+ web site lists it as such.
