The few golf carts I have seen that had lithium batteries, all seemed to have pretty good cases on them. They appeared to be water tight, but that was just a guess with my limited view. Not sure I would drive through a tunnel during a storm flood, though.
Yes the batteries are sealed. Regardless, there would have to be 2-3 FEET of water in the garage before the batteries were submerged. How would that even happen in TV? Maybe on the coast in the aftermath of a brutal hurricane, but here?
