I'm closing in on having to replace the 6x6v batteries in my 99 TXT. Planning to upgrade to 48v, so I need a new controller and charger anyway. In researching the forum, reading a couple of build posts with Lithium packs, and checking the web, it seems the prices for 6 new Trojan T875s is within a couple of hundred bucks of the 7 cell Lithium kit (Golf Cart Lithium Battery with BMS set DIY 3200Wh KT5360-15 DIY PARTS) on Hybrid Autos web site. That's the 7 cell 60 AH pack.

Why would you NOT want to take advantage of the lighter weight and longer lifespan of the lithium batteries?
