Unhappy Par Car battery life

I just had to replace all the batteries on my 2010 Par car after 20 months.(Batteries had only an 18 month warranty, so it cost me $1091.)

Initial symptom was red fault light flashing three times... Unplugged charger for a while, then plugged it in again - got yellow light after a couple of hours and an overheating charger and bubbling batteries. Columbia Par Car service picked up the cart a day later and after a couple of days testing, gave me the bad news.

Costly, but should be good for another 18 months. Makes a gas cart seem more appealing...
