LiFePO4 - upside is less apocalyptic failures, downside is there's no cost effective way to recycle them. AFAIK the best you can do is try and recondition them.

Exide Li-Ion battery uses lithium iron phosphate (or LiFePO4), the best choice for top safety & life span with good power density (CCA).

Li-ion is denser and can have thermal runaway whereas Lifipo4, a subset of Li-Ion isn't as dense and doesn't.

What you want is a bag of lemons, a bag of copper and zinc nails

That'll get you sorted.
