Just remember to check the air in your tires when returning.
Given the circumstances and the extra care you describe for a gas cart, a lithium cart is the better choice. *IF* the batteries are not fully charged after the long absence then just plug it in for a couple hours and you’re good to go. In my case they have always remained charged.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
