I'm sure you would agree droping in a new lithium battery in a cart is way easier and cheaper than a new or rebuilt engine.
I've lived in The Villages for going on 19 ears. The number of people I know who have blown a golf cart engine is...ZERO. Not that it doesn't happen, but I've never heard of one. But I did replace my electric cart's motor three times in seven years...not to mention three sets of batteries in those seven years. And if you don't keep those batteries full of water they are toast. So check that water at least once a week if not more often.
