In a quick search I saw batteries plus carries duracell.
Sams Club and Costco usually carry golf cart batteries, but maybe not in winter in MN ! I check the specs and prices: 215 Ah about $90.
Properly cared for (add water when required, do NOT over discharge and properly charge) a pair of golf cart batteries should easily last 5 years or more.
Segue - My 7.5 year old battery in my truck died yesterday. It should have had a couple more year in it but too many total discharges from interior light left on over night killed it. If you think 7.5 years was good, the original battery lasted over 12 years ! I checked the water (even though it was "maintenance free") at least once a year, kept the outside and terminals clean. Nothing special.
