Get them charged properly and then have the specific gravity checked. that will tell you a lot about their condition. I may just be time to replace them.

Eight volt batteries are not extremely rare. I have six Trojan deep cycle baterries in my cart and so don't thousands of other carts in this world.
This is what I have in mine and I can get new ones anytime that I will need them:
