What does it cost to dispose of a lithium battery from a golf cart? What does it cost to replace a lithium battery from a golf cart?
With the price of carts going up and the price of batteries going down, it is unlikely the the cart will essentially be completely disposable due to the cost of a replacement battery.
I believe the warranty on my battery is eight years. Given that the manufacturer does not want to cover warranty claims, I expect the battery to last at least ten years. Seeing the advance in technology over the past three years, I won't be replacing the battery in ten years, I'll be ready for an upgrade with an entirely new cart.
