The Gauge dropped below half, so my guess would be about 15 miles remains on the batteries. We drive this cart at least once a day, every day, so no replacement is in site for now. For us, we will never buy another gas cart due to the jerkiness, smell and worst of all the noise.

The jerkiness you experience are from carburetor old carts or inexperience. Fuel injected carts don’t jerk unless you induce it. Glad you are happy with the electric cart. Pros and cons with both styles. Gas carts engines can run for ever if the operator has any clue of preventive maintenance. You will be buying 1k plus batteries in few years. While my gas cart will still be running fine when I’m in the grave. I’ve had both, both worked fine for my needs, but I like gas better.
