General battery info

Following on from the "Poor Battery Life" thread - i will show my ignorance here as I had thought a 200 ah battery was just that, I didn't realise this was only the case at relatively low discharge rates - obviously not going to be generally applicaple to EV's. How do LiPo & LiFe compare in this respect?
Also if using something like a deep cycle leisure battery (is this what you guys use if using lead acid) are any guarantees (I see some batteries carry a 4 year warranty) going to be automatically invalidated.
Apologies if these are simplistic questions to you guys, but my learning curve needs to start somewhere!
