4-5 years is typical. If you notice a slight hesitation when it starts then it is time. A preemptive replacement at 4 years is also not a bad idea.

Changed my 2017 last July. Got the battery in Walmart - heavy sucker and as previously noted it's a little challenge to replace. Cost $170.46 less $12.84 for the core. Supposedly a much better battery than the one the cart (Yamaha) came with. The one it came with had practically nothing on it to identify it. That should tell you something. If you are concerned about removing part of the plastic side of the cart then I suggest you have someone else do it.

Sams Club has both an automobile battery, warranted for two years, and a deep-cycle marine battery, warranted for one year, for under $100. Both are about 600 amp hrs. I bought the marine battery because it was $20 cheaper and would better serve as a power source in the event of power failure during a storm. It has worked perfectly in the golf cart now for almost a year.

You can shop around but keep in mind price is not the only thing to check. You want to make sure that you’re replacing apples with apples. Check how many CCA’s (Cold Cranking Amps) the batteries have. Is it a deep cycle or regular and how many month’s warranty are you getting. A $54 battery will most likely be your lowest reserve capacity which may not last as long as a better unit. Your current battery should have all the specs to compare. Batteries are like everything else, you get what you pay for.

Thanks. I bought the cart from I-4 Power, out of their Webster, FL store. It is due for a service, later this winter, that requires them to bring the cart back to their shop. I will have them change it out when they do the service. I may even spring for some more comfortable seats if they do that.

Willies will come to your house, check your charging system and replace your battery all for less than a Walmart that you have to pick JP and install yourself. Includes a 2 year warranty
