LiFePO4 have better life expectancy that the other chemistries (LiCo and LiMn varients), but with this it has less energy density, but it does have better power density. Interesting tradeoffs when selecting battery chemistrys for EV's. For safety and life expectancy, I chose to put LiFe into my conversion.
