Mortech and Biker1-- Excellent data based analysis. Rare here in the golf cart form. I am more prone to agree with Biker1 about the watts per mile. But...I think the big thing is that Lithium batteries can be run down to about 0% without killing them. Lead Acid begins to die extra fast when you run them down below 50%. So, the Lithium will give you 'more miles' perhaps for the money, without being killed.
You run Lead Acid batteries down to 0% a few times and you have to buy new batteries. They just never recover from the 'injury'. That is the point that is usually missed here in this forum.
