Lithium period, end of story.
They're stealthily quiet, zero maintenance, no fumes, no exhaust noise, no memory, ypu can top off charge any time, it has none of the draw backs of lead acid or gas.
When you leave you simply leave the battery at approximately 70-80% charge and top it up when you return. Most LFP, lithium iron phosphate batteries will self discharge approximately only 2-3% per month.
Battery range us heavily impacted by driving style and tire diameter.
My Battery size recommendations if you like to drive a lot:
- 105ah, is the bare minimum if you want to travel between the Squares. ~30-40 miles range. Likely to experience some range anxiety at times. Charge nightly or every other night.
- 160ah, Large enough to go anywhere in The Villages. ~45-60 miles of range. Range anxiety doesn't exist. Charge 1-2 times per week.
- 200+ah, Large enough to go anywhere in The Villages. ~60-80 miles of range. You laugh when someone mentions range anxiety! You typically charge only 1 maybe 2 times per week.
Your gasser neighbors are jealous but won't admit it.
