Default My 2016 Ezgo has original lithium batteries.

[QUOTE=mrf0151;2268838]Everyone likes a quieter cart so when we moved here almost 20 years ago, we got a Club 4 battery electric. It was wonderful until the batteries got a couple years on them and then the range dropped off some. With the new lithium batteries there seems to be many positives as they are supposed to last longer and give much better range. However, the jury is really out on these lithium electric carts because they do not have a long track record.
It has never been in the shop for maintenance. No belts to get loose or break. No starter gen to go bad. No smell. Quick quiet and efficient. Yes. Oil changes? Nope.
One cent of electricity per mile of operation. Gas is around 4 or 5 cents. When you add it up electric is the proven low maintenance, lower cost way to go in golf carts.
