[golf cart man]

This thread was interesting to read. I just went through the same debate. Went into my dealer to buy a set of batteries for my other cart and ended up buying the batteries and a new 2020 onward. I did not go with lithium. I am in FL where its flat so the hill climibng wasn't a big deal to me. The batteries are only warrantied for 6 years so anytime after that if they go its on me and the replacement cost was more than traditional batteries. Sure they say could get 10-15 years but I couldn't find any research on the actual life where they were in a golf cart for 10-15 years and still going.

I just replaced my set of crown batteries that were from July of 2013. I got a little more than 6 years out of them which is the same length of time the lithium are warrantied for. So at this point in time I couldn't justify the price. I may regret it down the road I'm not sure but for now I am enjoying my onward.
