Just checked the dates... Received the cart from Villages Discount (used/refreshed/whatever) in March 2020. Battery stopped working in May 2024. Looks like just over four years but suspect the battery was 2019 which would make it five.
IMO No maintenance don’t mean no maintenance, you still should check terminals for looseness and clean top battery, Yamahas are notorious for over charging with may boil more acid fumes out. Every maintenance free battery water level can go down and affect battery recovery. Will it last longer? Who knows? But it may and keep corrosion down. If my battery gets too filthy I remove it from cart and wash it, clean battery box area, and check level. But I am anal. My cart still looks new and clean under seat.
