A big "maybe" there. Maybe they will last for 12 years. My warranty is for eight years so the batteries will last at least that long. I replaced my car at seven years so an eight year warranty would have outlasted the vehicle.

I don't know what will happen with my electric cart. Perhaps by 2030 I will be ready for a new one. Perhaps there will be a drop-in replacement that will triple the range. But I do know in those eight year I will enjoy not having to run to the gas station and paying six or seven times the fuel cost.
