If you start pushing that time frame here it gets dicey. After the 3 year mark, you have to really watch how the battery is behaving and its not worth trying to squeeze an extra 6 months out and risk a battery dying on you in the worst possible place and time. Summer time is when they really like to die.

I'm not going to comment on the electronics aspect, but from a size perspective the LI battery is the same size as an available counterpart in lead acid.
