The lights won't drain the battery unless they are on. In your garage they ought to be off so not a problem.

I can imagine you might have a problem if:
- You live close to the course and don't drive far to get there
- You do a lot of stopping and starting with only a short distance in between (like on a golf course)
- You leave the key on the whole time

With the key on, the headlights or running lights will be on using some small amount of charge. Every time you start moving the starter motor uses some amount of charge to get the cart moving. If you only drive a short distance the amount of charge put back into the battery would be less than what is taken out - over time you lose ground.

If that is what is happening then over a matter of time (a month maybe?) the battery will eventually lose enough charge that it will not start.

Going for a longer drive or attaching a charger occasionally should help.

You might also want to check the voltage at the battery, it should be higher when the engine is running. If it is not higher then that would be an indication that the charging circuit is not working correctly which would also explain why it loses charge over time. Hopefully, this is not the problem but it should be covered by warranty if it is.
