Makes no sense that it needs to be driven every couple of days, or be kept on a charger.

My cart is exactly the same year and model same problem. So I took it in to Sumter Golf carts I know they say “cars” but you won’t find one car there…lol….
There are a few choices. You can get a stronger battery, which means higher cranking Amps; 650 or higher will last (years) longer. Yamaha puts in a cheap battery. Second, you can have a kill switch, which shuts off all power. Husband put it in as an anti theft device, hidden but easy to access. Every time you leave the cart for hours or more turn on the kill switch. Saves battery. Third, trickle charge battery with a battery tender/maintainer (not expensive equipment very simple to use - even I can do it) when you get the code, 4 long red flashes 6 short flashes on the Yamaha fuel gauge (which is in the center of the front panel). I know they say drive drive, drive but when it’s raining or it’s the cold etc and you may not have to rewire which given that you are still using the same battery, I don’t know how much that would help.
