upshot for me is: - Hi-tech lightweight batteries for fun on the bike,
- Heavy tolerant systems for the camper and boat.
A telling consideration is found in this ironic question:
Why would one care about weight savings in a boat with 5,000 lbs of lead in the keel?
I agree with Neil; gotta keep these systems from running our lives, but we do need to keep the beer cold.

Weight savings is not why I would get lithium batteries, the vastly longer lifespan would be.
