If it's still lead .. with some minor sulphating issues ... and lead is still a heavy metal and is still poissionous ... and the battery's performance is comparable, but not quite as good as LiFePO4, but it costs just as much as LiFePO4

Where's the advantage? Am I missing something?

Why not go with LiFePO4 and get:
- stable performance that's been tested in use
- better cycle life (5000+ cycles to 60% DOD)
- higher current rating (10C or better)
- no discussion about weight - perhaps that is comparable as well?
