The people who pick up your trash can advise you. A scrap place may even buy them from you. Lead does have scrap value.

Lead acid batteries are nearly 100% recyclable. Do not put them out with the garbage. Try calling some of the auto parts stores to see if they will take them - they take back your old battery when you buy a new one. You, will, of course, need to get them there.

The warranty is pro-rated....it's not a full replacement warranty for 10 years. I think it's also to the original owner not to subsequent owners.

I love the idea of LiOn batteries in a golf cart, and it will be my choice for my next cart if I decide to stay electric. However, I do have concerns about the safe charging of these batteries, especially in a after-market installation. As you probably know, several auto manufacturers have had problems in this area. Recently, Chevy Bolt owners were told to charge their cars outside of their garages due to unexpected fires during charging. These batteries have had similar problems in laptops, cell phones and airplanes (!). I wouldn't want to have to charge my cart in my driveway because of this. Although the charge controller may work perfectly, shorts in the batteries themselves are typically the problem. And once these batteries start burning, there is very little that can stop them. I plan to proceed to my next cart choice with caution. Love LiOn batteries when they work!

Electric cars are getting cheaper and batteries are getting better. Tesla is working on a million-mile battery to support taxi-like service. Also, electric cars are cheaper to maintain than ICE cars: "According to Consumer Reports, EV drivers pay half as much to repair and maintain their vehicles. Consumers who own an electric car can expect to save an average of $4,600 in repair and maintenance costs over the life of the vehicle compared to a gas-powered car."
