It's considered a "high" current application. You will probably size
your batteries so they get discharged in under an hour.
Is this where Li cells shine? Long life and better peak current
capability? (I am incapable of asking rhetorical questions about this
stuff- I simply don't know - I promise I am not trolling)
*Every* type of battery has versions that excel in high discharge rate
applications, and different ones that excel in low discharge rate
applications.
With lead-acid, use AGMs for high rate, and gels for low rate. Floodeds
are made in versions for either purpose.
With lithiums, you have so many variations make/model/chemistry that you
have to closely read the "fine print" to see what they are best at. The
marketing would have you believe every cell is good for everything!
