Good point, from a few people I have talked to it appears Yamaha puts in a 1 year battery, and apparently some of the dealers do the same. If you take the battery to an automotive parts store, they can test the battery, and if necessary to replace they have 1, 2, and 3 year warranty batteries. I typically get the 3 year battery, and have not collected on a warranty on a golf cart battery as they last longer than 3 years.
