New lithium battery discussion

[lithium.paul]

Hello ladies and gents- I work for a lithium battery supplier in Salt Lake. It didn't take long there to recognize how cool our batteries would be in a golf cart, so we headed down to our local dealer and picked up a 2006 CC Precedent, just off a local country club.
2 months later here we are with a cart we totally love. (Well, a few carts... we couldn't stop at just one!) Lithium batteries and golf carts were made for each other. For a while people have said that lithium is too expensive, but the prices have settled over the last couple of years. A 12v lithium battery costs less than $300, completely outperforming Trojan T-1275's and lasting 4 times as many cycles.
It's been fun getting into this and I look forward to lots of interesting banter about just about anything. I may ask questions from time to time, but I'm mostly here to spread the good word that it's finally time to ditch lead-acid.
After looking good and hard at it, I really think that E-Z-Go, Yamaha, and Club Car all know that lithium battery's are better, but they last so much longer that they wouldn't sell nearly as many batteries. And that means less money for them, but more money from cart owners. Lithium actually saves you money now that the prices are down!
