Disadvantage cost is 4x lead acid but if you weigh out the life it is a wash with lots more advantages.

It is not the easiest to understand new battery technology in a two minute course. Above is a link that will help start you.
Again I would not buy a brand new electric cart today without understanding battery technologies on the market available today. That is going to take a little effort. |
Absolutely, IF you want electric then Lithium is the only way to go. Really the only downside is up front cost but they tend to last 2x longer than lead acid so in the end the cost is similar.
