Provided you have space for them. They're about 4 foot x 4foot by 3 feet each 2v cell.
I am wondering how much one of those would cost... and even worse, how much would the servicing cost.

By the way, Japan is already using Li-ion batteries instead of the old lead-acids in their new submarines and we are also considering similar change. Give it a few years and the old lead-acid submarine batteries may be very cheap once our submarines stop using them
