We got a low voltage code (46 I think) when the battery was failing.
I replaced the failed battery on my cart with a deep cycle marine battery from Sam's club. I think it cost $85. 15 months, no issues.

Also, I found that the wiring harness was inadequate for the load, so I put the headlights on a separate dedicated circuit, 14 guage house wiring with a ten amp fuse, and this solved all the electrical issues.

In Florida heat batteries tend to lose water. Check the electrolyte level every couple of months.
