Default Batteries for our gas carts

Any recommendations? I am wanting to buy a few parts for the young girl (she's only 25) and I need a new battery just to start trouble shooting.

I understand a 12 volt battery is in order, but was wondering about cranking amps, name brand, etc

I buy the Walmart "Everstart" batteries, they're only $25 and come with a 2yr warranty - I use them in all my tractors, cart, even the Harleys and they haven't failed me yet, been using them for almost 4 years. Just make sure to pull them and use a conditioner over the winter, they don't like sitiing for long in the cold

I put a 1000 cold cranking amp. deep cycle battery on mine.
I think it was around $80.00 at Auto Zone.

That's what was in it (Everstart). Sounds like a cheap alternative for now. My cart will be kept inside. I got permission from the wife to build a second garage to house "projects". This is my first since completion. (Starting small and attempting to ease her into it.

I think mine came with a 325 amp battery. Ran it down more than once.
I have a lot of lights and accessories sometimes run a 12 volt heater.
The deep cycle has never ran down but if it does it is designed so it can be recharged many times unlike a reg. auto battery.
1000 is over kill but I want mine to start.

Thanks for the info! I will probably go with a mid range one than. Say 5-600. Should be good.

I concur with BCM I measured the space in the battery well and just bought the biggest that would fit from the local Walmart.

Cheap is not always better.
Never seen a car battery for $25.00 anywhere. Well maybe in 1970.
You get what you pay for.
Get what works for you.
