well the big advantage of golf cart batteries from a golf course is they are pretty religous about plugging them up as soon as you get drop the cart back off. Most of the time I've experienced that some 15 yr. old kid is sitting there waiting to do just that and maybve help with any issues you have with them.

You'd have to wait until they upgrade their fleet to new carts otherwise the ones they are selling likely have problems.

<edit> it would be advantageous to get the whole cart if you could afford it. Then you could just have say 4 used carts broken into 4 "separate systems." the motors would each power a wheel and all the cells could be linked. Could very likely get all the components on the cart for cheaper than you could getting individual motors and variable control systems.</edit>
