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.

A deep cycle or marine battery has fewer and thicker plates inside. Its purpose is to run a very long time at full voltage. It it not for starting big motors. A car battery has many times more plates, that are thin. Its purpose is to have a big amount of current available to start big motors. The car battery works in a golf cart, but they do not last as long or stay charged up. So make sure your next battery is marine or deep cycle.
