Wont you need to replace the batteries around Year 10 and then this becomes a wash?

Why would you need to replace the batteries? Do they fail outright at around 10 years, become unsafe, or do they just lose capacity?

Curious!

Even if they're at 50% capacity, they would still work, right? But if there are other considerations, especially safety ones, then that would definitely be a consideration. I'm not sure where to learn about this type of thing.
