Also as I said - there are other issues. When I step on the gas, sometimes it hesitates to engage and actually start going. This can be very dangerous if you're taking a left at a busy intersection, or that left that gets you from Morse Blvd. to the side-path on the way from Spanish Springs to Sumter Landing. The last thing you want is to have traffic backed up behind you in the left lane of that road, because your golf car has chosen that moment to become stubborn.

It'll be peace of mind, plus one less thing I'll need to do in the next couple of years. After that, hopefully, I'll be in a position to afford a new golf cart, and I'll have it the color, type, features that I get to choose personally.
I say go for it. For all the work you're getting done, that's not that much money. (As long as they don't try to up-sell you.) Also, 5 years of life for a battery isn't bad at all, although a very good one should last several years longer. On the other hand, if you aren't planning to keep the cart till the wheels fall off, you don't really need to pay for high-end.

Hope that all works out well!
