I have a 36 that needs batteries and a controller, so I'm going 48. Looking for the best battery for my application..

Any advice is.appreciated

Actually, the cart is for the kids, I'm just in charge of making it look purdy..
I wouldn't go AGM yet for the regular cart. You want long run times if the kids are going to be riding it. The AGM's we use in the dragster are good for 3 1/8 mile runs and have to be charged. They only weight 21 pounds though so they are built to discharge completely and recharge faster than a lead acid battery.
I would buy the trojans if money isn't a issue. If money is tight go with the US battery 8 volts. They are good batteries.
