Lithium costs as the last poster mentioned can get very high some places state $1500 yet this depends on the battery, it is possible based on the technology, that you could spend upwards of $8000 to replace them.
But all that really doesn't matter as much as what has been experienced with them. Your largest issues is Low Voltage typical batteries of the size you require have a problem if they hit 3v and lower basically in most common uses it's buy another one. Another is these batteries under certain conditions can get thermal runaway which can lead to it smoking or even exploding. There are 3 other issues with them.
With that said , in mist cases there is a remedy but it will take time, sometimes days, to find out if you saved your batteries or not.
Personally I don't get the noise complaint, but I'm used to motorcycles etc. I'd rather put gas in it and not worry about how much longer I have to go before a charge and no I don't have a gas can in the garage all my tools and mower are battery. Just not the golf cart just didn't make sense.
