The batteries they use in golf carts are pefectly safe if they use LiFeP (Lithium Iron Phosphate). These you need to charge to 100% and they are not going to catch fire. The other main type is NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) Lithium batteries. These are more common in phones and EVs, although the new Tesla Model 3 have LiFeP. The NMC batteries you should only charge to 80% and only to 100% on a long trip and you should not let it stay at 100% for long. I only charge my Ebike and my Tesla to 80% unless I am doing a long trip. I hope this helps.

I going to the 4pm show to see Rich Little. He's 85 and has been around forever. I am 56 and remember him as a kid, so def going to see him before, well you know. I love impersonators and he is one of the best. Another great segment guys. You were talking about the gators. Have you heard the story about the 85 year old lady walking her dog in her 55 and up community that was killed in Fort Pierce by a gator. The family is suing the retirement community. Apparently they were not allowed to walk the dogs in the street, so the residents had to walk the dogs in the back yard near the pond with the 11 ft gator. Really sad. Also Jerry, I am always trying to figure out who you remind me of with your skin tone/hair color and it hit me today when you said Celtics............Larry Bird!! Only your better looking.

Hi Jerry and Linda, we have been watching your videos for a few months. You two are adorable together. 😊 We feel like we are friends already, lol. We just haven't met yet. We've been visiting The Villages a few times. We live in Clermont but are hoping to move to The Villages after we sell our home, altho that may take a while. I am Peggy, my husband is Ed. I just wanted to respond about squatters because I have heard our Governor say that squatters will not get away with taking over someone else's home in Florida. I hope that will make the part-time owners feel better about that. I have not heard of squatters near us in Clermont and not in The Villages either. It seems it was happening in more northern states. Lately we watch your videos "every" night and have learned so much from you both so thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you both and we hope to meet you on one of our visits.

GM Jerry and Linda & happy Monday. My mum had gout. It was debilitating. Cherries 🍒 and quinine in tonic water is helpful. But once got her on the correct medication 💊 Colchicine she was fine. Allopurinol did not help. Enlightening video question. Never knew of fires associated with lithium batteries 🪫. Lithium broom 🧹 😂. Hilarious. 🐊’s my fear living by water. Bigger than you Jerry. Omg. You are very tall. I’ve seen numerous gators 2009 - 2010 when I frequented Florida every other weekend. And snakes 🐍. Love you sharing the bloopers 😂. At least the parking 🅿️ is free. Great bubble wrap info. Did not know that. I would want a seatbelt in my golf cart. Squatters. Oh my. Glad the incidence is low to hopefully none. Thanks Amy re:trust info. Glad the manager addressed your portion concern. Glad you enjoyed your nutty cheesey salad. Word jumble. I’m getting better. Oh love the sweet & salty intro. 2 lovely sweet and salty. Always appreciate the shoutouts and pics. Great show guys. Have an awesome week and see you Thursday 🤗

I saw the info by bubblewrap about manual opening and closing the garage. Caution. When the door is disconnected in this manner from the motor your garage is vunerable to entrance by outsiders. To prevent this possible intrusion through the garage door, get an electrical tie-wrap and insert it into the hole on the part of the opener where you disengage it from the drive. close the tie-wrap and the outsider can't stick a metal hook he made through the seal at the top of your garage door to hook on to this mechanism to disengage it to allow him to manually open the garage door.

NYC is having a huge Li Ion fire problem, mainly due to people modifying batteries and chargers to over charge the batteries to get long run time from them. And mixing chargers and batteries that don't belong together. But if you use common sense and take care of your devices, you should rarely if ever have one catch fire.

About the lithium battery fires. There’s a lot of potential problems using the incorrect charger and with electric bicycles purchasing used batteries off resale websites like eBay and others. The case with EV battery fires has a lot to do with which chemical makeup the battery has, there are six different chemical makeups that batteries can have. The two most popular in EV’s are Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide NMC for short and Lithium Iron Phosphate LFP for short. It’s the Cobalt in the battery packs that make them more susceptible to a thermal runaway fire. The LFP batteries do not contain Cobalt and are more stable plus have a longer lifespan than NMC batteries. Hope this helps with the battery question.

KZfaq unsubscribed me. I think that’s because I turned off ALL of my notifications. My inbox was loaded and the only way to remove items is one by one. A real pain in the neck. I was getting too many notifications and more subscribers. I don’t watch KZfaq that much anymore except a few regulars. Funny thing happened on Saturday. I tripped and fell flat on my face on my way to the hairdresser. Face planted directly on the concrete. Have general aches and pains as a result but the big thing was my massive bloody nose and injured lips. This nice young couple helped me. They’re from Massachusetts and just moved here 3 months ago. Her folks live in The Villages. We’re going to dinner and they are going to tell me all about themselves and their folks. They love the Villages and are planning on buying a home and eventually settling there. They said it’s the most beautiful place. Anyway, I subscribed again to your channel.

Sorry I am late to the party. The gates are to help control the flow of traffic at intersections we’re GC paths and road way either come together or cross an intersection. I have rode my M/C for 50 years and it didn’t have seatbelts so you probably know my thoughts on that. The driver of the GC accident was cited for no seatbelts because the cart was traveling in excess of 20mph so, it needed to be licensed and operated as a car. Jake

Auto companies spend millions every year on safety and seatbelt designs, golf carts are not engineered for seatbelts at this time for. The backyard mechanics that are finding a “convenient location“ to attach the seatbelts to are taking you safely at risk. Are they anchor points strong enough or are the bolts of adequate strength? Lap belts alone were long ago done away with because of safety concerns. Anecdotal evidence does not replace engineering studies on determining safety design. The best thing that can be done to improve golf cart safety is SLOW DOWN.

Not sure if it is the same or not, but I have many electric tools (mower, trimmer, blower, edger, etc) that use lithium batteries and have stored them in my house and garage over the years without any issue. I dont leave them on the charger much longer than when they charge fully so that is just being smart. Maybe they are smaller, not sure, but I think it is like anything where sometimes you get a bad one, but the majority are fine. Guess you need to analyze your risk tolerance and decide what to do. Electric is good for some things and gas is better for others. Dont worry about what the President says, just do what is best for you.

I do not know about golf carts or other cars but my Tesla is 10 times less likely to catch fire than a gasoline combustion engine, still I will probably buy a gasoline Yamaha Quiet Tech instead of an electric golf cart mostly because the range on most electric golf carts is not high enough and I want to travel the villages by cart as much as possible.

The Villages averages about 25 miles top to bottom, and 10 miles wide. By golf cart, it’s 17 miles from the Spanish Springs town center to the new Eastport. A round on a championship golf course is about 7000 yards, or 4 miles. The new lithium golf carts can have a range of 70 to 80 miles. The speed limit around The Villages is 20mph. That’s 4 hours of constant runtime. As long as you start each day fully charged, I wouldn’t worry about range.

I just wanted to reach out to make sure that we get an invitation to your future mansion because I just started shopping Amazon using your referral link. With how often I shop, you can definitely upgrade very soon 😂😂😂

In our 55 or over area is that our association owns the roads - thus not public. We do not have manned gates but we do discourage traffic. I imagine your streets are perhaps maintained by the local county? Your centers such as Spanish Springs need to have public access to make them profitable for the stores. Those stores pay rent and usually a percenage of their income in addition to the landlord. Without enough traffic they would close. Retail is not easy!

How do you discourage traffic? All of our town squares are open to the public as you probably know.

Hi Jerry and Linda. I've been interested in the villages. I currently live in Washington state. I have a question about homeowners insurance. I've been seeing (on KZfaq) that homeowners insurance is increasing at an alarming rate in Florida in the near future. Are you concerned about that? Great show and thanks David

Might need to start building parking garages, The Villages sales offices want to sell, sell, sell but they will need to add another level for parking, it's the inevitable.

Just a clarification, FAA bans "recalled lithium batteries" from carry-on bags and checked baggage on all airlines due to fires. The battery in your iphone is not "recalled" Safe travels.

Awesome show. I think it's going to be impossible to go all electric as far as cars go for many many years. There is no infrastructure in place to handle the strain on our electrical grid. Not enough power or charging stations right now in places. It would be great for most people to be able to have an electric car. In some cases it isn't going to be practical like long distance vacations or the trucking industries. We saw a truck with a trailer parked at Publix that was unloading a personal golf cart. It could have been a resident returning and dropping it off or maybe someone intending on cruising the cart paths.

I know I mentioned this last week, but keep reminding people to check their subscriptions to your KZfaq channel. KZfaq is on a roll to unsubscribe people from channels. I don't know why. Twice a week, I have to re-subscribe to your channel as well as many others. Maybe they set a limit as to how many channels you should be subscribed to? I don't know

Last November we were in The Villages to check out the lifestyle, we went into all the rec centers. No one asked us for our guest ID. No one asked at the pool. We heard someone say that if they come to check your id at the pool they can not ask you to get out of the water to check.
