TOTALLY agree. We've been in TV for 10 years. Decided to go electric for our cart. First one was Yamaha with 8 6V batteries. Range of 35 miles, and needed to replace batts after 3 years. Then got a Tomberlin electric. Same issue. Not good. And batts are now VERY expensive.

Now after 6 months we have a lithium electric cart. OMG - 80 mile range and easy charging. Smooth, reliable - and NO BATTERIES to replace. Very pleased.
