Was that original battery? If so they only last about 3 years or so anyway. You can measure the battery box, post position , and height go to Walmart get battery 600 or larger CCAs that fits in box. If you have no knowledge on how to do that just call someone that sells batteries and will install at home.
Thank you, my husband bought a better battery than what was available at The Villages Golf carts but they installed it. It is charged by a trickle charger which cannot overcharge it. But it is 3 years old. I prefer not to figure out how to change the battery- unless I am going to have to do this regularly.
