Just curious - why Lithiums are so heavy?
100 AH, flooded, 66-69 lbs. 100 AH, Li, 29-31 lbs. Brain-dead sellers jumping on a new bandwagon, "One-fifth the weight of a traditional battery", yahooo.... More usable capacity, yes, but not...

if 100ah lead battery was good for 800 cycles only being used at 30% (30 ah) the battery would have a 2400 ah life? Also assuming all proper charging was done. Then the battery was used 180 days in a year that battery could possibly last 13.3 years?
With wet cells, in theory, yes. Though, in 8-9 years people do something wrong, like improper charging or storage, so you won't hear 13 years too often. Or they sell RV after 8 years together with batteries.
What Mex said - acid eats the plates, this is what it does for living :)... Storage will affect cycle life, no matter what.
