At $6,000 even if they last for 9 years it does not make sense financially. I just had Ranger batteries installed for about $1100 which included some alteration to the battery holder. If I replaced them every three years (and I believe that they'll go a lot more than that) I'll pay $3,300 for nine years.

I think that L-I batteries are the future of electric golf cart. But it will only happen if the price come down to a point where they become financially feasible.
