The fewer the batteries, the longer the range. I know it sounds funny, but eight 6 volt batteries will go a lot further on a charge than four 12 volt batteries.

Take a look at a new cart called the Smart Cart. It has lithium-ion batteries which are maintenance free, can go 100 miles on a charge and can last up to 15 years.
