Older models will usually have either:

-Lead flooded deep cycle batteries (sort've like car batteries but better for handling being charged over and over).

-Lithium Ion batteries. The ones that can have a spontaneous fire that goes out of control. Not in most new electric carts, but they are still in Teslas

-Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries aka (LiFePo batteries). This are not flammable at all and are what all quality golf carts are using now for the past few years
