I strongly disagree! Yes - lithium is a little more expensive but the Leaf battery modules are in use and are safe and reliable. My cart is 250 lbs lighter and there is no messing with adding water or worrying about spilled acid. I can lift the entire pack my self. 110lbs. I get the equivalent of about 4 rounds of golf between charges and I don't have to keep the pack topped off to insure long life like you do with FLA. The only down side is availability. You need to be a bit of a do it yourself guy to convert. Hybrid Auto has everything you need and they are responsive and easy to work with.
