The 80% recommended charge limit is typically for the NMC chemistry. I believe you will find that most, perhaps all, golf cart battery packs are LFP, which are fine with 100% charging.

So realistically, if your lithium golf cart claims 90 mile range, realistically it is 60% of that. You want proof, as any Tesla or EV owner and google it for lithium golf carts.
Also, you can damage lithium batteries if you run the battery down and you can’t leave them on the charger for a long length of time (ask any owner), so if you are a snowbird with a lithium cart, what are you going to do?
If you forget to charge your cart overnight and you are on the golf course with 10% battery life left, you don’t have the luxury of going to a gas station and fill up.
You do know, lithium batteries are classified as toxic and require special land sites to discard, similar to nuclear waste.
