My golf cart is now 7 years old. I replaced the initial set of batteries Trojan) after 1 1/2 years. A second set 2 years later because they were faulty (Trojan) . since then I have been running on Powertron (6 8v). I can travel some 30 miles and find when I pull into my garage that the meter is still on white. I make sure the connection are clean, etc . I religious maintain thes batteries with proper water levels and make sure I keep it charged.
One thing that hasten the demise of my batteries was due to the fact that I had the cart set to go 27mph. About two years ago I had enough and dropped the speed to 20mph.
I wax and wane about trading in my electric cart for a gas cart for a number of reasons including the fact that a golf cart financially is not a good investment
