I understand that 12V batteries don’t have the longest life span in our zone.

That said - is one brand of 12v cart battery better than another....like Interstate vs X...or is that it simply doesn’t matter?


Is the bottom line just get the cheapest battery and know you’ll need another in 2 +\- years?


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.

All you ever wanted to know about group configured batteries.
