Battery Capacity: The lithium iron phosphate batteries have a capacity of 105 amp hours per charge, ensuring you spend more time on the course than with other battery types.
Battery Lifespan: These batteries are designed to last up to 8 years, providing reliable power throughout their lifespan.
Safety and Efficiency: Lithium-ion technology offers rapid acceleration, a higher top speed, and charging times that are 1.8 times faster compared to lead-acid batteries. Additionally, the Yamaha PowerTech Li is 25% lighter, contributing to increased range."
I'm sorry, but 38 miles from a brand new electric cart on flat ground just doesn't do it in The Villages. Uphill????? 7 year old batteries???? No thank you.

Lame effort by Yamaha. They should stick to making gas carts. I suspect that their current lithium effort is targeted at golf course fleets, where they could be leased cheaply and only need to make it around 18 holes twice a day. No competition to Star or EZ-Go lithium carts, which have more range than most people need.
