But just as clearly, you are trying to make a point. No, I didn't consider the cost replacing the batteries just as I didn't consider the cost of rebuilding/repairing the gasoline engine. With all the moving parts, the engine rebuild/repair is more likely than the need for new batteries.
While I have seen golf carts advertised that are 15 years old, I suspect I will be replacing both of mine before that. With a ten year (or maybe 8 year) warranty on the batteries, they ought to last as long as the cart does.
The only reason I might replace the batteries is if new technology comes out that doubles the range. I might upgrade to something like that if it becomes available.
