You guys are going to make me do it …  
60ah less…lol

If both sets of batteries were new (just so measurements were equal) you would get about 1/4 less distance on the flooded batteries.

But why go backwards? Saving money?  
Suggest you use about a 100 ah nmc battery. About a 2:1 advantage over lead and little more money.  
Depending on where you are test drive one and see if it’s big enough.  
You can get a 1p14s SDI for around $1750
