I have a 2021 Yamaha quiet drive 2 cart with 12k miles on it and the battery is fine. When Todd’s mobile service out a month ago to do the yearly maintenance, they checked the battery. He said it was fine. You should never have to charge a cart with a battery charger, if you do, you have something that is constantly on or messed up wiring somewhere. Another issue could be your charging system, maybe it’s not charging the battery while you drive. If you constantly go short distances in your cart, you may not be driving it long enough to charge the battery.
For decades when I had to winterize my boats, I would put the battery on a trickle charger all winter and this never decreased the life of a battery.
