I have had 3 electric carts and none of them required batteries before 5 years including the Par Car. It averages out at todays prices $10.00 month for batteries plus whatever it costs to charge them. Not much other maintenance to worry about with them. I still might try the EFI gas units but 3 o 4 years is not the case with decent batteries, it's more like 5 to 7 years.
