Batteries for Gas Carts
 

I was wondering what experience folks have with having to replace the battery in a newer Yamaha gas cart.

Do they tend to last 5 years before needing replacement or what have folks found?

Also, if you have replaced one, what types/ brands did you use other than a Yamaha replacement? They appear to be fairly standard Group 24 batteries.

Mine is fine, this is just idle curiosity while drinking a beer.

I had to replace mine after about 5 - 5-1/2 years. The symptom was that I pushed the gas and there was a delay before the engine started. It gradually progressed to I pushed the gas and nothing happened. Got a replacement at Walmart. Group 24F.

Walmart, they tested and evaluated the old battery...then installed the new battery.

And a person should
 

always trust Walmart because they're such a high class operation.

Bought mine a SAMS CLUB did it myself. Old one was 4 1/2 years old.

Five years is about the battery limit. Had mine changed at Gordon's Garage in LSL. Reasonable and with a loaner.

If 5 years old you are on borrowed time. Change if before getting stuck.
It cost me $79.00 at Gordans garage.

Walmart replaced my 5 YO cart battery in about 20 minutes while I shopped.

They also rotate tires for $10 (while you shop).

Testing a car battery with a carbon pile load tester is straight forward. Even Walmart can do it.

Had Wal-Mart on 466 replace a battery and tires on my car and was pleased with the service and price both times. Will have to remember that they service carts also. Thanks.

Cheapest place to go is The Villages Golf Cart Store. Just bought one there last month. Battery with tax $65.93

That is really cheap. Was that a Yamaha OEM battery??
