After watching tons of YouTube videos on LiFeP04 batteries, I decided to Try one of highly reviewed Li-Time 36v golf cart battery. The Price was the same as 6 new Trojan T105. You do need to buy a new Lithium charger for a $120. This Li battery is 6 times lighter and there is no maintenance. The distance at full charge was slightly more than the lead acid probably because the weight of the lead acid batteries. Customer service is very responsive to email questions. Overall, I highly recommend switching over to LiFeP04 batteries from Li-Time. Also, you will need a DC converter to run your lights or any accessories!
