I had mine replaced last week. These guys did a GREAT job. Very responsive and knew what they were doing! Owned by a Veteran. Highly recommend.

There is a trick to getting the battery out of the later model Yamaha carts, your need to remove a bolt on the heat shield using about a 12 inch extension and 10 mm socket.
If you cannot do this yourself, then I have used Todd Casey and Willies mobile cart service, my neighbor has used Cart fixer, and any of these can do this work.

VT, would you preemptively replace a 5 year old, original, battery in a Yamaha gas cart if it seems to be working fine?

I would be watching how the cart operates and as soon as I noticed a slight delay in starting, it would be getting a new battery. IMHO, you are well beyond the normal lifetime of a battery. If you are doing this yourself, when you take the battery to the automotive parts store, they can test the battery and let you know what its condition is.

Yes, if it tested bad with battery tester.

I have been noticing that. I guess I better get it changed. Thanks.
