There is a reason we don't see lihion car batteries, or fork lift batteries as a default. (Yes, Tesla's are li-ion, but that's a scale where the weight savings begins to matter. Iirc those battery packs can't deliver peak amperage quickly or many times in their life, e.g. ludicrous mode.)
Additionally, li-ion has non-neglegable disposal costs, so I don't think it's fair to count that solely again lead acid batteries.
