The 2012 cart I just got has origional batteries in it from the golf corse, he told me they were a year old and they are just about dead.

I called 3 golf cart suppliers for prices on my 07 Precedent. Here's their prices for 4, 12 volt batteries.
1. $210 ea. out the door, Trojan
2. $212 ea. installed out the door. Trojan
3. $209 ea. plus tax. US Batteries.
The closest "dealer", he runs one of the largest Club Car rental fleets in northern Michigan said you have to be careful what battery you use in the Precent. Certain models require certain types of 12 volt batteries. I didn't understand everything he was telling me as I was at work and couldn't concentrate on the conversation. I'll learn more when I go to pickup the batteries in the spring.

DBurly - if your cart is newer than 2008.5 - I sure wouldn't buy 12 volt ones again - they're just a bad choice all-way-round. Better to buy 6 x 8v. If older than 2008.5, its a bit more work to change (see here) - but still really worth it, though.

I bought my 12volt Trojans for $175 each. Google in or near your area for a battery shop like Everything Batteries or Anything Batteries, something like that. Prior to that SAMs Club carried 12 volts for $200 but not Trojans. Anything Batteries did increase the price to $185 each, of course with your cores, Anything Batteries in Jupiter Florida for Florida residents, 561.746.6551

Also a little note... I replaced my 6 year old 12 volt Trojans not because I had to, I just did a complete overhaul on my cart, New PQ Motor, (30+ mph,) New Trojan Batteries, New HD Solenoid, New 350 amp Curtis Controller, New MCOR, (because I had to,) New Brake Light Switch, (because I had to,) New Speakers, and New Tires, DOT approved and also because I had to.
