Finally the question....has anyone bought lithium batteries on line and then used warranty service? If so; what brand and was there a dealer nearby to complete the service. Nearby to me includes Orlando.
I would also consider buying from a dealer if the cost was somewhat comparable.
If you choose to answer please leave the gas vs electric and other extraneous discussions to another post. Thanks in advance.

Be extremely careful when charging your cart especially indoors. Only charge while at home and never overnight. If you can leave it outside do that.
If you choose to charge in your garage I would recommend a CO detector close by the charging area. If the batteries start to fail either while being charged or at anytime the CO detector will alarm first before any other signs of battery failure.
I know people will bring up the alarms while cars are running but I would also recommend having the garage door open and exiting the garage quickly once starting the car. When coming into the garage turn the car off as quick as possible and leave the garage door open for a period of time to greatly reduce the possibility of the CO alarm activation. It may be a pain in the ass but it is better than having your house burn down because of a golf cart battery.
