Need a new battery, what kind?

Sho, I thought I taught you better than that. Good way to fry the generator.

One suggestion. I have seen many carts with battery acid damaged frames. I used to run EZGO's years ago.
I put my battery in a plastic marine battery box. Only a few dollars, looks good and protects the cart as well as cushioning the battery somewhat. I would also recommend using a product called Battery Mat. It is a felt type material with a acid neutralizing impregnation. So no more rotted frames or metal boxes.
In my cart I cut the box down so I can use the same hold down and don't use the top. But using the supplied strap you could secure it to the frame.
