Lithium or not
 
Another research question
Lithium lowers weight, does lower weight make the CoG change significantly with a 6-inch lift? I flunked physics LOL:-P

It does somewhat but lifting lifts the batteries which raises the CG. Going to lithium will reduce that effect.

Thank you, as usual, you are a fountain of knowledge.

Lithium conversion reduces traction. That may or may not be a consideration for your application but it is a real affect of losing 30% of the cart weight.

Appreciate the info, I drive 99% street so the few 100 feet in an alley will be no issue.
My concern was for stability in turns. Especially for someone not use the cart's characteristics driving.
