Default Re: Lithium AH vs Lead Acid AH

I have done testing, and yes, 100ah lithium is about equal in delivered power as t875. That's not even factoring in the weight savings. Lithium cells are rated at 1 hour rate, not the deceptive 20 hour rate like lead acids. In my opinion, the "20 hour rate" thing is a total scam on users. But, your math is screwy, ah figures don't "stack up" on batteries wired in series. 4 12v 100ah cells wired in series equals 1 48v 100ah battery. If you took 4 12v 100ah batteries wired in parallel, you would get 12v 400ah.
