LiFePO4 battery is a no brainer for cars. Higher current, longer lifespan, and much lower chance of turning into a bomb in a crash.
A common argument I hear against using it in mobile electronics is the fact that it's heavier. But, like, who cares? Are you struggling to lift your phone or laptop?
I carry my laptop around everywhere and light weight is really important to me (walking, biking). Not sure how much heavier these batteries really are but I already got a less powerful laptop so that it would be lighter...
Just one of the reasons removable batteries need to come back. Imagine if you could just choose between the lighter lithium ion and the more durable lithium iron phosphate for your use case.

That's not too surprising considering it has an LiFePO4 battery. 500 cycles is nothing for those.
