Standard car battery, you can buy 1, 2, or 3 year warranty on the battery. Take your battery to any of the auto supply stores, pick the grade you want, get your `$40 core charge and re-install. I doubt the brand will make a difference.

You checked and you’re starter/generator charging right? Sometimes you pay extra for brand names, so I wouldn’t get hung up on one brand verses another cause there only I think three battery manufacturers which stick on several brands as the come down the line. Cheapest don’t always mean best. Does it really matter in golf cart? I doubt it cause it don’t pull a load on battery vs vehicles. 12v batteries are same, it’s cold cranking/cranking amps that makes them cost more due to more plates (acid batteries). You can put any car battery in you’re cart the will fit the spot with terminals on correct configuration. I found can put same size battery in my cart as my as my car. Bottom line, as long as it fits in the molded box and the terminals are on correct configuration. Walmart everstat batteries are hard to beat when I was pricing batteries. https://www.dstgateway.com/ACDelcoDo...ifications.pdf All you ever wanted to know about group configured batteries. |

A battery normally won't go bad in a year unless it is mistreated.
Is it a sealed battery or can you add water to it? If you can add water, perhaps the cells have gone dry. Do you normally leave it on a charger? These can sometimes cause overcharging which run the cells dry and shortens the life of the battery. As others have mentioned, check that the generator is providing charge when the engine is running. There could be a problem with the voltage regulator, generator, or even the wiring to the battery. This could make it appear that the battery is not holding a charge when the problem really is the battery is not getting charged in the first place.
