It's hard to find a price for a replacement battery for a lithium golf cart. Some reviews say the lithium cart costs $1,900 more than a lead acid cart so let's say $2,000 for a replacement battery. Obviously, $2,000 is more than $1,300 but that would be for a new battery compared with a rebuilt engine and it could take as little as a few hours in the shop rather than a few days. To me, that compares well.
One possible reason why it's difficult to find a price is there have been few, if any, lithium battery replacements purchased. EZGo came out with their lithium model in 2017. With an eight year warranty, the battery in every EZGo lithium cart sold should still be under warranty. Someone claimed Yamaha has a 20 year warranty on their engine - I wonder what exactly that covers.
You've never heard of someone's gas engine going bad? You only need to spend a little while on these pages to find reports of recent clutch problems, loss of engine power, or battery problems with gas carts. I haven't seen anyone yet report a problem with their battery or motor on a lithium cart.
