A lithium AH rating is different then a lead acid AH. Sure the lithium is rated at 100AH but the rate is the unknown so it is unfair to say it is half the battery of the lead acid. Also it can be discharged to 80% SOC and still give 2000+ cycles so its range is even more comparable as well as cost. You'll have to replace the lead acid 3 times vs lithium.

Just a couple things to think about.
