How long do golf cart batteries last?

The lifespan of golf cart batteries depends on the type, usage, and maintenance. Here’s a general breakdown:

• Lead-acid batteries (Flooded, AGM, Gel): Typically last 4-6 years with proper care. Poor maintenance can reduce their lifespan to 2-3 years.
• Lithium-ion batteries: Last 10+ years, have a longer cycle life, charge faster, and require less maintenance.

To maximize battery life:

• Keep them properly charged (avoid deep discharges).
• Maintain water levels in lead-acid batteries.
• Store them in a cool, dry place.
• Clean terminals to prevent corrosion.
