But as some are stating here I could go 70 miles with a 120AH pack? Lithium is not some miracle battery, yes lighter weight, so there would be a distance gain there, but not 10 miles or more. Math is math and a battery rated at 100 ah is a battery rated at 100ah. Reminds me as a kid when you tried to trick someone and ask them what weighed more, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers.

Kenny,
Your confusing amps and amp hours. Also the useable capacity for FLA and lithium is apples and oranges.
Basically Amps or ampere or amperage is the current flow. Amp hours is measurement of a batteries capacity.
Here's a great resource to read up a little:
