No ax to grind --just info . Would be interested to hear a rebutal from anyone with facts.
No rebuttal but as in all things, most failures are user issues. You should plug them in every night and if you go away for a couple months use a battery minder and you should get good service. A good electric cart has a volt meter and you will know when you are getting to the critical voltage. The carts just don't stop, as the batteries get old your meter will give you an indication of declining range. If the cart dies it's because the user wasn't paying attention and most likely didn't charge. It isn't rocket science, as with most things, most are user errors.
