How so? You could use lead acid and need 3-stage, temperature compensated charging, do your best to only use 1/2 the rated capacity so that they will last a reasonable period, remember you will only get a fraction of their capacity if you use them hard (peukert), remember to account for their voltage drop as you use them, and make sure you regularly charge them for 12 hours so they don't sulfonate.
The only reason folks think lithium chemistries are more complicated is that they have come to accept all the requirements of lead acid as 'normal'. In an apples to apples comparison the care and feeding of lithium is far simpler, most folks just aren't familiar with it.
