I haven't found my reference yet, but my impression has been that 
essentially all golf car batteries are antimony doped.  Some or all gel 
batteries are calcium doped.  Many AGM batteries are pure lead, containing 
neither.

I'm sure there are exceptions.

I did find a reference indicating that antimony content strengthens lead.

Don't quote me; this is rather incomplete.  Corrections and emendations 
from 
electrochemists and others in the battery business are VERY welcome.
