@MartinSE I have an Atomic (lithium), actually my 2nd one, long story .... 3+yrs old with about 15,000 miles on it and am as happy as can be with it. Not positive if the current models have lithium since I don't see it listed on their site, only AGM. Maybe it's an aftermarket option which I personally don't like due to the probably 5-600 lb difference in weight unless they add ballast to keep the COG the same. I do agree with what you said about "People can't help themselves in making assumptions, putting words in other people mouths" as that is very common here.

Regarding Atomic or Crown, My only concern as well was always "how long are they (in my case Atomic) going to be around" but I just sucked that up and didn't let it bother me HOWEVER with the loss of Jim and since all their carts are brought in from China and with what is going on in the world these days sadly, I'd be a bit more concerned. That being said, if you go for electric, fron ANYONE ONLY GET LITHIUM. Don't accept anything else no matter what they tell you.

Edit: I don't play golf.
