My LSV has a lithium 160 ah battery that I have had for 3 years and also just charge it once a week.
Actually, a Federal Law. That's why it's a trip to the courthouse to plead in front of a judge if you are caught driving an unregistered motor vehicle (aka - a standard golf cart that is capable of exceeding 20mph).
