48 Volt Lithium Batteries run about 2,500 dollars. Then you have controllers and glitches that may occur. Then there is the possible issue of fire from something possibly missed during your conversion. Diodes and fuses don’t necessarily protect everything. If you place 3 k into your golf cart, is that worth it to you? I would assume all warranties are gone at this point. Once you spend the cash either way, it becomes a sunk cost. Don’t forget nice used carts can be a viable option as well as new carts. There are great options outside the bubble that even give you a greater savings.

Good luck either way. Golf carts certainly do make living in The Villages quite pleasurable.
