I'm personally not a fan of the "drop in" lithium batteries that replace your existing batteries. There's just to many compromises in making the batteries fit the holes. If you are considering a replacement check out Rowpow S51105 they're new to the US market but build a purpose designed pack.
I think this is the most informative post here. Everyone saying they are so expensive(Lithium). Well - go on the EZGO site and price a new one, with all the stuff you need for TV (Top, windshield, etc). The price is $11,300. Add the fabric sides and your are at $12,000. This is less than a comparable Yamaha Quiet Tech. We have gas carts, but in a few years, half the place will be driving Lithium.... I have no doubt.
