Other than price???
For a $1000 a pop they'd better be far superior!!!!!
For that $1000 per lithium battery you could buy 3 pair of FLA batteries (bought mine at Sam's for $150 each), each pair will last approximately 5 years, that's 15 years worth of batteries, you'll need 2 lithium batteries so that's 30 years worth of FLA batteries. Will 2 lithium batteries last 30 years?
IMHO you'd have to boondock full-time to justify that kind of $$$$ on batteries.
