I've got 160Ah cells, giving 8kWh total or 6.4kWh usable. the nice thing is that Lithiums are barely affected by Peukerts effect, so they deliver almost their entire rating, even at high amp loads, like 100A. Flooded cells can lose more than half their rated capacity to Peukerts at these kind of loads. Add in Lithium's lifespan and they probably cost less than even flooded cells in the long run for Wh per dollar. They are pricy up front...
