I wouldn't Lithium batteries put 100% of their power then simply drop off to nothing and stop putting out so it's like flipping an off switch, where normal lead acid have a slow drain. You can see this in tools and RC Cars that run lithium. I know of a person in my town that converted to Lithium, thought they had plenty out power and then they just stopped putting out, leaving them stranded many times, they totally regret it.
