[QUOTE="CRS, post: 513633, member: 21726"] An amp hour is an amp hour no matter the source, voltage is what the individual motor requires, again same difference. The reason Lithium batteries run longer is simply the make up and how the batteries respond to the drain of power. A lead acid if run down past 50% causes a reduction in the life of the battery, the more it's discharged the shorter it's life. The lithium battery can be run down 80% or more depending on the manufacturer's recommendation. That is why they claim they run longer the other advantage is for electronics there is hardly any voltage drop, unlike the lead acids. The main disadvantage is, unless you keep an eye on the run time and power drain there is zero warning of run down. Your motor will not slow down it will just stop. [/QUOTE]
