NAPA gets their batteries from Exide if I'm not mistaken. Seeing that they weight in at 90 pounds and have a 155 AH rating I would say that sounds like a good heavy duty battery. Life? Is hard to nail down but well taken care of batteries tend to last at least 5 or more years. Your your stock charger and learn the simple rule of if it is parked plug it in and keep it charged...

Any input on a lift kit I'm looking at a 6" spindle kit for 179 but I'm worried about caster/camber problems has anybody had this problem ...don't really want to spend the money on a a-arm kit

My opinion is you get what you pay for... Spindle kits do not steer or turn nearly as well from what I've read. Much better with a lower cost double A-Arm kit as they extend your wheel base a little and make the cart steer quite well and turn a smaller u-turn...
