Yes, "everyone" says you should use LiFePo4 batteries, but who really does use them? check out
EV Photo Album: Our Electric Cars on the Web I would say that 98% of the electric cars on the road are using deep cycle lead acid batteries, I don't want to use lead acid batteries either in my projects but unless you have a rich uncle or someone who is willing to give you a pile of money you are out of luck.
