What about consideration for cold weather - a loss of 20 to 30% capacity
? And HVAC and other things ?
Regardless, is it worth converting to Li ? If you need 100 miles and can
only get 40 with lead, then the answer seems emphatically "yes."

You don't need a 40kWh lithium battery to go 100 miles.
A good rule of thumb is to take the weight of the vehicle and divide it by 10
to get Wh/mile.
A 3200 lb vehicle will use 320 W/mile.
So a 32kWh battery would take it 100 miles.
I had a 16kWh battery in my conversion and it would do 50 miles on a charge.The
car weighed 2900 lbs after conversion and 3100 lbs with me in it.
16000wh / 310Wh/m = 51.61 miles.

I've had my eLectric DeLorean, eD, since 2007. With its 15.6kwh lead acid
pack I can get 40 miles on a charge. I've moved to New Jersey and sold off
my other, gas powered DeLorean. I would really to bring eD to car shows
but I figure I need a 100 mile range to make it effective.
Forty kwh of Tesla battery modules, a BMS and new charger will cost over
$10,000. I don't need 1000 battery amps anymore. I won't be doing any drag
racing.
Are there any less expensive 40kwh lithium batteries that can fit in a 28"
x 28" x 13" space?
I can get a used EV for $10k.
Is it worth switching to lithium?
Thank you,
