The reason I am asking is we have a 2012 cart purchased brand new in April of 2012. We have 597 hours on it and I am told by the dealer it sounds like we need new batteries. The other thing I was told is most people average around 150 hours a year. He said at the rate we are going we would be replacing batteries every year to year and a half.

Please, lets not make this an electric vs gas cart thread. I would like honest answers, not why we should have bought gas instead. Thanks!
Don't know averages but 150 hours seems low. We probably are a light user at maybe 10 hours a week or 500 hrs a year. Maybe 8 to 10 miles a day. Cart is new so have originsl battery.
