Would you happen to have any details on that battery replacement?
Newer lithium carts come with eight year warranties. I didn't think there were any lithium carts that old yet (sold before 2015). Did his lithium cart not have a battery warranty? Was there a reason the warranty was not honored?
It looks like replacement lithium batteries sell for about $2K today. OK, a few years ago they would be higher, installation would add cost, and the repair shop may add a premium. $5K might be realistic for lithium. It looks like lead-acid should have been more in the $2K range.
