Sorry I don't have a recommendation as ours is a gas cart. Just wanted to send you and Mrs. Cybermuda a virtual hug. It's no fun to get stuck pushing a cart, especially in the dead of summer. Hope you find a deal on new batteries and enjoy smooth sailing from here on out.

But it is up to the operator to maintain a legal speed. Just sayin.
Again not an expert on electrics, but in addition to looking for one that keeps its speed on hills, consider one that has a long range between charges, especially if you and/or spouse are golfers. You might find yourself wanting to travel considerable distances in the golf cart in a day. There are some great former threads on the subject if you want to check them out. Or you can just ask anew and I'm sure many forum posters can provide great information.
